I read that as if she's going off all meds and is just going to let what happens happen...?

I hope you're ok DryEyes.

Dry Eyes,
Your post sounded as though you are really downhearted.  I understand and would love to be your friend.  Praying for you.

Mshistory is correct.  I didn't mean to alarm anyone.  My apologizes.  Yesterday, actually for the past few weeks or so things have been getting tough.  Within the sjogrens and outside the sjogren's.  I am tired both phsyically and most importantly mentally.  Not suicidal rather tired of fighting the medical system.  Tired of reading about how many are just brushed off about their true physical stress.  Tired of those unless you have a "nasty (*&(*) tumour hangin out where all can see there can't be anything wrong with you that you should need any help to deal cause you don't look ill" people out there.  I woke up in the middle of the night with a bruise forming above my left eye in the puffier part of the eyelid. It started out the size of a thumb print.  I have not banged, knocked, picked my nose, shoved my finger up to far or shoved it in my ear, nor have I removed my eye ball to in anyway shape or form cause this to happen.  Come the morning the "bruise" has now formed into what could be considered a black eye.  It now covers the corner of my inner eye and has advanced half way across sort of following the bone line of the socket.    One has to ask   what the ?
At that point I had a hard lump developing right beside the tear duct.  The bruise is surrounded by like a blue line.  Off to the dr  of course my dr isn't there and the office said I shouldn't wait as it is my eye.  What does he say,  with a concerned look on his face   it is just a bruise and continues on to explain what a bruise is and how they behave ...  I am thinking  "No sh*T Enstein ..."    Further to say  that didn't concern him.  ??  a bruise forming from just above my eye unprovoked.   He didn't even open my file up.  I told him I had sjogren's  and  was using Restasis.   Got the old   "and?" look from him.  and that was that
I have lost my faith in the drs and it is further backed up by what I read.  Just tried of the constant fight with them.   And in the end  they tell me how I feel and what I need.   so no point.   done  notta    so frustrated that I can not put it into words strong enough   sooo thinking just find ways to live and let live    what will be will be....

Bless your heart, dry.  That's just awful.  Please keep looking.  I know it's hard but don't give in.  Just take a little time off to give your mind a break.  We're all here for you.
