Hi Sharon,

Such encouraging news for you! I know how you've been battling and searching for years now. The physical unease of our syndrome is enough burden to carry without adding psychological distress of being afraid to look someone in the eye. Hope this new med works for you. Aren't you weary the constriction of blood vessels might exacerbate ocular dryness??

My array of eye medicine consists of Hylo Comod eye gel, Optrex night repair gel, pure castor oil, low dose dhea, pregnenolone and testosterone. And I still suffered eye infection 4 times last year...

Good luck!
