      Hey you, anything dealing with swelling on any part of the body... Make sure you are staying hydrated, because Prednisone in particular caused extra dryness of my skin and throat. I also would have swelling in my ankles + feet. Prayer, staying hydrated, Anti inflammatory diet, and looking more in natural healing so you can wean yourself off the meds!

      Reduce sodium intake & try to get lupus under control, so you can lower the prednisone dose. Once you are on a low enough dose, the puffy face will go away. But sometimes you just have to learn to love yourself w/ the full face (someone told me it looked youthful, like a baby face-lol, so that was something to be glad about)
