Just wondering if anyone rides motorcycles with Sjogrens? Curious how you handle the dryness etc.
Tnx!

I have not ridden a bike in about 30 years. An auto accident was a balance problem.
We'll days are far behind me and I was riding the back but i did buy a pair of liberty sunglasses a few years ago at the same time I was prescribed restasis.
My eyes were soooo dry, I tried them on and was sold. They were a godsend. I noticed a difference right away, they really help with the dry eye, outdoors in dry windy climates, or air conditioned cars etc.
They have a cushioned rim inside and are similar to other riding shades.
Ride on,

I gave up riding with my husband years ago d/t what I saw in my nursing clinicals
with the head injuries....permenant ones...so sad.
However....d/t the wind drying out the eyes and hip issues with the RA...I don't
think I could ride anymore anyways.
If you enjoy it...you'll find ways to deal with it all. Good goggles I would think.

Maybe the old style bomber goggles ;D
Do you know what motorcycle riders are?
Organ donors.
Yep, young, healthy, .......fill in the rest.

Will they even take Sjogren's organs? :-\
Donorcycles, they are called.
I like having something around me.

I don't ride for the same reasons noted, seen too many dead or barely surviving brain injuries from motorcycles.
That being said, make sure you wear a good helmet and I would think one with a face shield would prevent the wind from drying your eyes out as well as protecting your face from flying debris.

And high quality leather clothing to reduce road rash.

Have a scooter,
Not the same same as a motorcycle, but the wind in my face can be a problem. I use sunglasses with my helmet under the face piece.
We do ride. I am blind as a bat anyway, so I ordered special glasses that are made for riding. They have foam around them to block out the wind and have the lenses that change to sunglasses automatically, so I can use them at night as well as they turn back clear.
I haven't had any issues since getting them. I simply use drops before we go and when we stop if needed.
