Re: OT: dry eyes, vitreous detacment

I use GenTeal gel for severe dry eyes. It seems to work quite well. There is

also an ointment you can use at night

Sorry I have no solution and since this isnt off topic as my dry eyes are due to

rheumatic disease, i hope people wouldnt mind posting publically.

I hate reading " OT dry eyes... " because its yet another indicator that AP

doens't work and this site IS for AP. It drives me nuts as I already hear it

from the doctors, because it doens't imply but actually says that dry eyes,

mouth, throat, nose, etc..arent a rheumatic disease that is treatable with AP.

No one writes " OT joint pain due to RA. " So if there IS hope, then NO, not Off

topic. And no single item that is sold in stores works much for any of it, not

eye ointments, not saliva substitute which is a huge joke, so when I read about

people using stuff from the store on this board it discourages me even furhter

because it implies that we cant stop this disease let alone improve where we are

at now. Sorry to go off, I am so miserable, especially lately, and this is the

only place that gave me hope once.

Just another note from

I have severe Sjogrens. I've had to use antibiotic drops in my eyes

because, especially after plane rides or if I'm around a smoke filled room, I

develop ulcers on my eyes. With my current amoxicillan and azithromycin, my

dry

eyes/dry mouth/dry body have seemed to improve enough that my tongue (for

instance) no longer feels like a dry piece of sanddpaper, and I can keep my eyes

open and they are much more comfortable. For my dry mouth, I have started

using Biotene toothpaste from Target. I'm not sure, but I think it helps a

bit.

Vicki, have hope--that is so important for your healing. I put " OT " because

of my vitreous detachment which has nothing to do with RA or the AP. The

dry eyes started after that for me. I have found people willing to share

what helps them, and so it's a useful resource here to be able to ask

questions. We all have ups and downs with this treatment. Read Dr. Brown's

book if you haven't already. It's also helpful to read the success stories

at rheumatic.org. They, too, will give you hope.

All the best,

Hi ,

I find the Biotene mouthwash, especially at night time before bed, also

helps. I purchase both at Costco for about $5.00 each. El

I have been suffering with sicca-dry eyes for two years. I like to use the

product Smooth. It seems to work pretty good.

I hope this helps

Does anyone who is experiencing dry eyes have a solution? Natural Tears

don't seem to help. Also has anyone had a vitreous detachment?
