Thanks for posting to me. I have been dealing with this for about 8 weeks. I've been on penicillin, doxycycline, cephalexin and clindamycin. Nothing helped. I've had a pred pack and that did help, though it came back afterwards.

It's not painful but very uncomfortable, my eye feels pulled and strained from the pressure. and sometimes it goes into my forehead and gets nu7mb too, from the pressure or whatever.

I had an abcessed tooth pulled last week, hoping it was that (that tooth was a problem for a very long time, but didn't hurt...root canal that went bad from years ago). That's out and a week later, still swollen eye.

But...weirdly after I was on Advil for the day and a half afterewards, it felt really good as far as swelling and pressure....though the swelling was still visible, just didn't FEEL bad.

So today, I took an Advil again cause it was kinda bad feeling and we were going to try to go to the Renaissance Faire here (been so long since I did anything actually fun...even going out to eat is not fun). And hey, the Advil helped. It still was a little pressure, but liveable and I was able to go and watch things. I do need sunglasses, and I need a brim cap (baseball cap) cause brightness/sun bothers me.

Strange, not long ago, I was fine...and suddenly this. The Orbital Plastisurgeon is going to call me on Monday (well his office is), to answer any questions so I can think things through and make an appointment. I dread Monday. I hate going...you know me and docs/vets. But I may have no choice. Yes, please send prayers, I'm very scared.
