Anyone else wake up with pain and tenderness around their eye sockets! It is not terribly swollen visiably. I had it around both eyes this week, now it is just my left, but even to wash my face or clean the mascara off with a wet q-tip just hurts so badly! Not sure if it is inflammation, thank you Lupus/fibro, or allergies? Or just another lovely aspect of being me! Just curious! Seems to be worse in the a.m, gets better as the day goes on....????

If you have been on antimalarials any eye changes should contact Dr.. I became toxic on Chloroquine, and have recently developed a floater. They show some vitreous detachment and am being monitored for macular degeneration in that eye now. Don't take chances with the eyes contact your Dr.

@A MyLupusTeam Member...I am sorry you deal with that, I have Hashimoto's too and never thought of it being the cause...lol😁I have so much crap, like many of us, it is hard to tell the difference anymore, right?

Hi I have experienced this of and on. Another discomfort of Lupus. My eyesight has worsened since my last prescription changed again. I use steroid drops 💦 twice daily. Very uncomfortable 😣. Hope you get better soon. 🤗❤️
