Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Patti My dad had watery eyes and a very runny nose - both of which I was told were common to LBD. These symptoms persisted throughout. I have no idea when they started. It's a nuisance! How are you finding the new drug? Trusting all is steady. Hugs to you Sally x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 My mother's eyes sometimes " tear " up and her nose runs A LOT!!! She does use some otc eye drops as needed - Bausch & Lomb Moisture Eyes - for her teary eyes. carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi Sharon, This sounds to me like a LBD thing. My eyes have slightly thick sticky tears. It makes the skin reddened and sore I think because it stays wet so much of the time. This sometimes trades off with dry eyes not so often as it used to. I figure it all has something to do with the decreased eye blink....Hugs...Patti > patti, > daddy has what i call goopy eyes, it isnt infection but is thicker than > tears, he has had this for a long time so not sure if it lbd related or not > hugs, sharon m > > a smile a day keeps the meanies away!!! > laughter is a breath of fresh air! > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Patti, a quick note about this, my MIL has the exact eye drainage. They started out just very watery and as she has begun to keep her eyes closed more often it is has thickened considerably. Very sticky as well. She also has and has had the runny nose problem.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hi Patti, mum has had that very problem for a few years now, longer than her diagnosis with LBD. Her nose will also run. Sometimes she says it is just like water and it gets quite frustrating for her. She is never without tissues. When it gets exceptionally watery her eyes have become iriatated and the doc suggested a very mild cortizone cream to relieve itching and irritation. It seems to work well for her and you don't need to get a prescription for it. Hope this helps, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hi, My nose takes spells at running and being very watery when it does. Most of my nasal drainage though goes down the back of my throat and my nose is always stuffy even when it runs. It is interesting that Dr. Leiberman is running a survey on this very sort of thing for PD. I will be anxious to learn the results. Anyway thank you...Hugs...Patti > Patti, a quick note about this, my MIL has the exact eye drainage. > They started out just very watery and as she has begun to keep her > eyes closed more often it is has thickened considerably.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hi , Thank you so much. Mine has been ongoing for years now and seems to be slowly getting worse although it like the other symptoms can be fluctuating as to the severity of the problem. I have Pantene eye drops, I think is what they are called, but never remember them until they get to really bothering me. Anyway it is a prescription. Night time is bad because I drool, my eyes drain, and secretions build up in my throat. However I am alive and functioning and that is wonderful.
