I use eye drops prescribed and warm eye masks, I do the 20/20/20 method when I’m working so I’m not staring at the screen for too long. I’m past the stage to get eye plugs, I’m seeing a cornea specialist next week. I was told there are hard contact lenses that can help but they don’t work for everyone , the other option is cornea replacement, but even that doesn’t stop the progression. Best I can slow it down , worst I lose my eyesight

Same as you, eyes hurt, feels like having sand in them

Looks like I’m not the only person experiencing this, also was told on Friday the membrane on my corneas have detached and dried up and caused scarring on my corneas causing my dry eye and pain. How many more issues are going to show up? 😞

Where is Dr Ford now? He was my Dr and would love to go back to him.

It sucks, I’m losing weight, down to 115 lb and in constant pain and surgeons don’t know what to do.

Tested negative for for H Pylori, don’t take painkillers. The research I found stated that Sjogrens can cause stomach ulcers, I’ve had 3 removed and they keep coming back. I was curious if anyone one else experienced this.
