Morning swells/puffiness
Hi,I am 25year old female
I have regular menstruation cycle as of now
I have had this issue for years that my face swells up or gets puffy..there is no pain
everytime i sleep, my face (cheeks) are very puffy in the morning. and it takes hours for them to get normal..sometimes they dont go back to normal size until late night
sometimes when i have a cold or i am sick, they don't go back to the normal size at all
I get sick very fast even if i sleep in air conditioning, i start feeling sick..bodyache, throat hurts, headache..but i never really get a fever or a runny nose though
im not sure if the face issue is water retention or what...
can someone please help me out
my doctor has tested for my adrenal gland, kidneys, PCOS, cushing syndrome, and other stuff and they cant find any specific medical reason for this. every test result has been normal
the doctor says it is not hormonal either since i experience this situation everyday and not just around the time of my monthly cycle.

1. Describe your appearance & age
Answer: I am 25 year old female, I am thin and 5'4'
I have never been overweight.
The maximum i have ever been is 54.4kg
My menstrual cycle started when i was around 15
When the menstrual cycle started, i used to get them sometimes twice a month due to low iron level.
Then a few years later, my menstrual cycle went back to normal on its own and the iron level went back to normal. I did not do anything to fix it.
My weight also dropped, i became very thin.
overall i have never been fat even when the cycle was not normal
last year, my cycle went abnormal again..i gained a little bit of weight (still thin)..so i consulted a homeopath, now i am taking iron supplements and my cycles are normal.
I did get acne (cystical), but once my cycle went back to normal, my acne completely cleared up..recently, when my cycles went abnormal i got a few acne..
2. What are the symptoms of your health problem (Constipation, Swollen & painful joints of elbow, knees and wrists )
Answer: normal bowel movement,
hands and feet used to swell, after some homeopathic treatment, they no longer swell, they only swell when i am in extremely warm weather. Now they are fine, even if they swell in the morning, they go back to normal in 5-10minutes
No other pain
3. How & when did this problem begin (it began 3 years back when I was very tense due to a divorce .)
Answer: I believe that this problem has been around for 5years or more.
It is possible that it started around the time i got my periods but i am not sure.
i always thought that my face is fat and i have a thin body.
but from past year, i realised that this is not face fat (chubby cheeks) because the size changes in hours and day to day
we obviously can not gain or lose weight in hours.
4. What makes the problem better or worse (Constipation gets worse when I eat rice, it gets better when I sleep a lot . the swelling gets less when I sleep or eat meat, it gets more when I walk.)
Answer: I have tested avoiding rice/bread, it makes no difference
When i am sick, bodyache, headache, throat hurts..like when i get a cold, this condition gets worse.
otherwise it gets worse when i sleep.everyday i wakeup with a puffy big face. and i am never sure whether it will go back to its normal size or not.
on good days, the puffiness goes down within 5-6hours. But when i am sick, it goes down by night or does not go down at all.
I have noticed that when i get my periods, or when I have cried alot, if i am really stressed and cried and not eating well, then this puffiness is not there at all. Which is quiet strange to me
5. How do you feel emotionally (I feel sad & depressed, thinking about suicide. Think about all bad things happened in the past. I like to be alone all the time. I hate being with people ..)
Answer: I think emotionally i am very stable and happy. This issue really brings me down because it effects my face directly. The days when i don't experience this issue, I am very happy and i feel good.
I have been with this issue for years
I like being around people but not when my puffiness is alot
6. Describe your personality (I am a headstrong person, very suspicious of others, very strict about discipline . OR I am a messy person, not interested in cleaning. Dont bathe for many days ..)
Answer: I push myself to do things even when i am physically not prepared for it. I believe in 'will-power, mental strength'..I search for solutions for myself and I hate asking for help.
I dont trust people easily.
I am very caring of those around me.
7. What occupies your mind mostly (I do a lot of daydreaming, I think about romantic getaways all the time, I keep making plans for things and never do them .)
Answer: it depends on what going on in my life that will occupy my mind.
Sometimes its work related, or related to my personal life, or family life. But this issue is also on my mind, it's hard to avoid it because i can feel the puffiness right on my face. it hides my bone structure
8. How do you respond to consolation (I hate consolation )
Answer:I hate it!..i like solutions, i dont like false hopes, fake advice
9. Do you want to stay alone or in company (I love company of people and never want to be alone .)
Answer: i love being around people, im outgoing, but this issue takes a toll on me
10. How is your sleep (I have great sleep, always wake up fresh ..)
Answer: sleep is good. I dont like sleeping alot but my sleep is normal
I dont usualy wakeup feeling too fresh because of this issue
hands and feet swelling/tightness goes down within minutes but face doesnt.
11. Do you have any recurring dreams (I always dreams of big black snakes very regularly .)
Answer: just random, unsual dreams. No recurring dreams
12. What type of weather do you like and how it affects your complaints (I like dry & warm weather and hate winter. My complaints are better in damp weather ..)
Answer: i like rainy weather, when its not too hot or too cold
Too hold makes my hands n feet swell. Too cold makes me sick too fast
But my complaints are better in damp weather because its not too cold or hot

Do you like indoors or outdoors more
How do you relax, favorite pastime
Does anyone else in your house have this problem be it to a lesser extent
Do you mostly eat homemade food or outside
Have you tried cutting back on salt

Please take one dose of Lachesis 200c. Just once, not daily.
One dose is one pill.

Not at all.
In homeopathy, we prescribe a remedy by looking at all the symptoms, related & unrelated.
To reach at the right remedy I asked a lot of questions to get to the 'totality of symptoms' and keeping in view your constitution I reached at Lach 200c.
