unknown eye inflammation

Hello,

From June i have an unknown eye inflammation and up to this day i went to about 7 ophthalmologists, 2 endocrinologists and 2 ENT specialists that don't know what is wrong with me.

The inflammation is only at my right eye. I just woke up one morning and it was swollen (only the superior eye-lid). After that it started to get worse and reddish. The eye itself is fine. I can see perfectly with it and the nerve and everything about the organ is healthy, except the eyelid which is even now swollen and red.

I've done a lot of analysis and apparently i am all right. I don not have any allergies, i was tested and i took pills to rule this out. The bones from my sinuses are fine to, i took 2 CTs. I even did an endoscopy, and my nose has no problems. I went to two different endocrinologists and my thyroid and everything related to it is fine. Also my antibodies are all right to.

I took a lot of pills and drops for the eye but none of them had any effect on my eye. The only one that actually worked was something called "medrol" that contained cortisone, but after i stopped the treatment the swelling returned. Of course i took antibiotics but except for stomach aches they were useless.

I don't know what to do... I spent these past months walking from one doctor to another that didn't know what to do. I want to know in what direction to go, to what kind specialist. I can't possibly understand how nobody would know what's wrong with me. It's just a swollen eyelid.

I would appreciate any suggestion or advice,
S
