Yes I have them and think its fat under the skin from prednisolone even though I stopped taking it in 2008 it still remains, its not so noticable under my left eye but is under my right and I have dark circles too
do you also have fat under your breasts
hope they will go away eventually but don't think they will |

I was never on pred but also have puffy eyes. Although I noticed that they began with kidney failure, so I don't think mine are related to meds. But I thought it would go away after transplant when my function returned. Alas, it is not so! |

Hi guys!
I have puffy eyes too, but I think mine is due to old age and not enough sleep! LOL!!
I am on 5mg of prednisone, but I have had puffy eyes for a long time even before the pred.
Sorry - I just think everything starts to sag as we get older
God Bless!
