What are these marks on my eyes? *pic*

I've had a host of weird symptoms over the last few months.

  • tiredness (I mean more like extreme fatigue)
  • body feels like it's vibrating all over
  • sore joints/stiff fingers

I've had a full blood count and nothing concerning, now low iron and low Vitamin D has now been rectified.

Doctor has said she doesn't know, the rheumatologist didn't want to see me and to go back in a few weeks if I'm still the same. I still keep getting marks on my eyes that look like the attached. Any ideas?

Have you been rubbing your eyes more due to tiredness?

And on the top, they are more purple coloured in real life

@Circumferences No, they usually are very prominent when I wake up. My other half commented on them before I'd even woken up properly the other day.

Mine get these if I have been rubbing them a lot - tiredness, allergy, hayfever etc

Sounds like maybe it’s something auto-immune, which generally need more specific testing, rather than your usual blood test.

I suggest you keep a diary of your symptoms to see if you can find any patterns (it could be worse when you set something particula, or at a certain point in your cycle).
In the meantime try and eat healthily and exercise a bit if you can.

@Anyonebut my Dr did say it sounds autoimmune actually. I'm a bit stumped how to progress it further though if the rheumatologist doesn't think he needs to see me. I'm so tired :(
