I have been experiencing severe eyelid and some below eye swelling after doing yoga and yesterday after I had a massage.
Infact after the massage my upper lip was also swollen. I love yoga and want to continue BUT it takes a good day afterwards forthe swelling to go down- I look crazy :)
I am wondering if this could be thyroid related- I was on a very low dose of armour thyroid 30 mg after the above test results but my last results0 which I don't have were more normal and I discontinuedthe thyroid med.
I also have RA but it is not a med reaction b/c I am not taking anything that would causethis and it only seems to happen when there is pressure on my face like in yoga doing inversions and w/the massage laying face down inthe head cradle. Do you have ANY idea what is causing  this???
That would be great ifyou ahve any ideas.
