Thank you! Nice to hear some encouraging words. I've been to three specialists and none of them could find anything wrong with my eyes to account for the extreme redness. But since it went away when I got below 10 mg, I'm crossing my fingers I can taper enough this time to make it go away and stay away. I have the huge bags, too! The crazy thing is that I don't just have regular bags, I have a little puffy triangle below the corner of each outer eye. Small but noticeable. Bags on top of bags. lol Here is a photo of my arm taken recently. Sometimes they're worse. Just the forearms, as you said, and tops of hands.
