hi there,
swelled eyelids are common with ppl who have an auto immune disease, no and its not aids I'm talking about…. I myself have what is known as purpera check that one out @ arthritis.com… if U have purpera please answer back … what that means is that U have dark circles around the eyes … also eyes that swell can be caused by water retention ppl with Crohn's or colitis need hydration and less salt their diet watch for dairy also oops back 2 question research Crohns on line from a reputable source =)

Being an auto-immune condition Crohn's disease can cause some extraintestinal symptoms like eye inflammation, skin problems, mouth ulcers, even some neurological complications.

These secondary symptoms can vary quite widely among individuals.

Prednisone has made one of my eyelids extremely droopier than the other. thank goodness I wear glasses. ;___;
