Re: Kacey, Discharge from eyes???

[Guest guest]

Kacey, the eye dr. said that I didn't have iritis. They checked

specifically for that because I have all the other signs of

rheumatoid arthritis except for the positive blood tests. He did the

tear test for Sjogren's and I do have really dry eyes especially

compared to the test they did before my Lasik surgery in 1998. He

saw the goopy stuff, but said they didn't appear to be infected. It

was weird. I guess I'm going to go back to them this week and ask

them to take a sample to check for silicone. Wouldn't that be

something?
