Ew...i dont want to look freakish.

[Girl]

There are some days, where i have these dark bags under my eyes... It doesnt happen always, but it is obvious when i have very little sleep the night before. Im just wondering if there is a way to rid these, that you know of, besides from tea bags. They really dont work for me... but then again, maybe im not leaving them on long enough... (how much is long enough??) Christmas is coming very soon, and things will be much, much busier than usual... and i expect that my sleep patterns will change. I dont want to look like a freak.

If you can help, it will be super groovy!

Also, lately.... for about 3/4 weeks on/off.. my back had started to feel abit weird.. sore, but not in an achingly painful way, but just in a...idk...a weird, kind of...i just pulled a back muscle sore, kind of way.. I don’t think that this is very serious, and i have no desire to visit a doctor, but have any of you guys ever experienced this kind of weird feeling...??

Thanks, for any help...

Hi Girl,
I asked my doctor about the darkness under my eyes that I sometimes get. He said even mild allergies can cause blood to collect around the sinuses throughout the night. This will leave us with the darkness under our eyes the next day. He recommended I change my sheets and bedding a couple times/week.

Dehydration can cause them too. Try drinking water more often during the day and lay off of the caffeine (and no alcohol, if you drink any).
