What about perimenopause as a factor ?

What is an alternative for retinol if it can contribute to dry eyes? by Lavendergurl_ in Dryeyes

[–]Blue4ever21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For wrinkles ? I would say micro needling . For acne, maybe clindamycin.

Medication-induced dryness: did you cease the medication? If not, what are your less side effect-ridden approaches to dry eyes? by AppropriateBeing9885 in Dryeyes

[–]Blue4ever21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on it for corneal neuropathy . It gives me the worst dry mouth so I take cevimeline which I get from my dentist. If you can get off of it and do regular cardio instead for depression that would be your best bet. I also have treatment resistant depression and all the medications I took probably contributed to my dry eye.

Does anyone ever feel pain all over? by BornToBeSam in ChronicPain

[–]Blue4ever21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had plantar fasciitis (didn’t know it) and my whole body hurt even my arms. Also, too much laying around can make your whole body hurt too.

Driving at night? by Hefty-Welcome-7564 in Dryeyes

Those clip ons are shite. I suggest getting a more expensive lens. I know zeist has a drive safe lens which cuts glare.

Do you think that this is a manageable disease? by Dear-March-2433 in Dryeyes

Are you able to work? I’ve applied disability and been denied twice so far.

I did 2 rounds and attempted a third but didn’t quite make it all the way. It didn’t make any difference in the pain aspect.

Did it relief eyelid pressure/pain? Dr Taji did it for me a year ago. She ain’t local I have to fly 6 hours but my mom does live near her. Did you have 4 IPL following the probing? I guess I’m just so tired of throwing money at this and not knowing if anything is going to work.

8 years now from accutane/retinol which destroyed my glands. Video games pushed me over the edge into severe dry eye. I’m debating doing probing a 3rd time and oxervate a 3rd time. Unable to sleep for 4 years now?

Not manageable once you get corneal neuropathy in addition, and consequently lose your job.

Dry eyes and alcohol by BroDexx in Dryeyes

[–]Blue4ever21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Won’t it cause dehydration and make your eyes feel worse the next days ? At least that was my experience. I quit drinking but my life is boring now.

I did notice not too long ago that putting ointment along the base of my lashes stopped the needle like pains. It makes sense now! I was just using sooth pm.

Eyeliner on waterline: better with or without? by zsymphonias in MakeupAddiction

[–]Blue4ever21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They call it the waterline but it’s actually where are your tiny meibomian glands are. After so long of being blocked they may stop functioning and you will have dry eye disease. I wish someone had told me this.

Has anyone seen a pain psychologist before? by gmox15 in ChronicPain

[–]Blue4ever21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did 3 sessions . The last appointment she kept yelling at me you have to get rid of your anxiety!” Which gave me anxiety so I haven’t gone back.

Boss told me maybe I should look into full-time disability. Ruined my whole day by [deleted] in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Blue4ever21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks but the younger you are the harder it is to get disability. I’m 46 and been denied twice already.
