Your search was good. I have a printout from that site I plan to show my eye

doctor one of these days. I do believe I have paroxysmal lacrimation due to my

Lefort1 maxillary surgery. [i had maxillary insufficiency.] It is one of the

things I will present to my doctors next. I have such a long list of

misdiagnosed problems. My problem is presenting it. For all I know the reflex

tears

with a full bladder could be due to bladder pain ... I cannot feel :-(.

Right now I have a database of when the above happens. Perhaps with a

referral from my EDS GP finally the eye specialist will listen to me. The eye

people

expect dry eye. Sporadic eye gushing I am not sure they know what to do with

that. Especially with me identified as having EDS eyes in the first place. Caro
