well i thought i was doing better as my left eye felt better when i got an upper plug as it turns out the cautery i had done had reopened.. anyway. then the right ey (my good eye) started to get drier and drier so i went and got an upper plug thinking that would help..it has helped but now my left eye is way dry still and the left one wet...thisis nuts
is this normal for sjogrens.. it moves around like this??? i always relied on my right eye feeling better and now its my left... of course i worry they both get worse...
if anybody could offer their thoughts i just need to talk to someone who 'gets it'.. thanks everyone.

Hi
It has always been both my eyes so not any help though I DO UNDERSTAND!
Hope it gets better!!!
Maybe try some warm compress'.

its always been both of my eyes too but the left has always been the 'bad' one..the right i could deal with =just do drops throughout the day-the left i would get shooting pains etc....
i did a warm compress and will do another tonight..my doc just expressed my glands so its just sjogrens rearing its nasty head.. i take fish oil.. do you take fish oil.. i asked on another post who took GLA-i found a few who said it was helpful.. i am so conflicted as my doc doesnt want me to take it but my glands stay so clogged even with fish oil and daily compresses and monthly expression by him.. yikes..
I take GLA in the form of black currant seed oil. It's found in a pill my rheumie recommended.
I take GLA too although I'm not sure if it is helping. Mine started in my right eye, and then months later went to the other. Now it is in both!! I use Restasis and have lower plugs.
