Eyelid swelling

Hi all, new here and in need of help.

I've just been diagnosed with Sjorgen's and my main complaint is eyelid swelling in one of my eyes that acts up every single day from the afternoon until I go to sleep. I've been to 5 eye docs already and they say that besides the dryness my eyes are perfectly healthy (no sign of blepharitis) and had no suggestions for the swelling besides topical steroids which did not help. Eye drops and moisturizing ointments and Protopic have not helped either.

Has anybody found relief for this distressing symptom?

    hi shira75032, i am wondering if you have figured out how to solve your eyelid swelling issue?  i have been dealing w/ it for over a year and it's so extremely frustrating. i have tried protopic..doesnt really work. i am trying eucrisa now (doesnt really help). i get 4 allergy shots every few weeks (environmental allergies).  just not sure what is causing it and what can make it go away - other than prednisone...which i dont want to keep taking. i'd love to hear if you have had any luck on your journey w/ this?   thank you!
