Hi Lisa! Have you check with your doctor for Lupus? My daughter has swelling face for many years, glands swelling and difficulty swallowing- but her doctors couldn’t figure out. However we researched also she had some other symptoms of Lupus beside the face swelling. She is on Cellcept now that helps the face, glands and swelling going down . She also had Lupus and Sjogren. I hope you check both these disorders to make sure.

Hi @earoll99 , Thank you for your message! I have been tested for Lupus and that was ruled out and also Sjogren's I believe as well although I'll have to go back and check my blood work. I see my ENT this week (Wednesday) and I am going to ask if there is another medication besides prednisone that I can take as it's starting to make me very puffy.
My rheumatologist wants to do his own blood workup and I need to be off the prednisone for at least a week so I stopped today.
I will be back in touch - thank you for your comments and recommendations. I hope your daughter is doing well.
