Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 with my question on sweating. Glad to know I'm not the only one that has it. It is so bothersome. But I haven't been sweating so badly at night, but now that I'm back up to 60 of pred who knows. Went to the eye Dr. today because of my eyes burning & feeling like there is something in them. No uveitis or iritis but they are extremely dry & have been since all this started with my eyes in May. Have to use drops every hour which then blurs my vision for about 10 minutes. I have to use an ointment at night. These are both over the counter. if this doesn't work then he talked about putting plugs in my tear ducts to keep the natural oils in the eyes instead of draining. The dryness in the air also doesn't help. HOpe you all are feling well & pain free. Love, Susiecue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 Susiecue, Have them put a temporary plug in to see if it will help first. That's what they did for me. I found it more irritating than helpful. So I didn't have the permanent one put in.

Have they checked you for Sjogrens? The eye dr can do it. Just a thought... That is how mine started. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
