Anyone else with the same problem? I've had it ever since getting sick with mono on April 19, 2017.

    Hey Gee,

    It's hard for me to remember if I had anything like that, I remember having a bit of a twitchy eyelid strangely enough. I think the virus definitely can do some strange things - remember you will get through this and things will get better.

    Take care and thinking of you

    Place some warm tea bags on the eyes twice a day and try massaging a bit of coconut oil on the skin around your eyes. It will help ❤

    Hi Gee,

    I have it too (I've had mono since February). It's edema and it's a normal mono symptom, although not everyone has it. For me it was a lot worse in the beginning and is not so bad now, although it largely depends on how I feel. If it's a bad phase, my eyes are a lot puffier. And it is also worse in the morning usually.

      Hey there Agi. Mine is actually drooping as well. Ugh.

      Looks super weird.
