Trudy,

Thank you I will try anything at this point. The itchy and dry skin on my eyelids are making me insane!! If I keep hydrated I won't get dry mouth. If I get dry mouth at night sleeping, I know I am not hydrated enough. It is extremely dehydrating!! Hope all is getting somewhat better for you and tx.

Have a great weekend

Cheryl

Try Soothe eye drops. They are over the counter. For dry eyes, I have been using them about three years. And try Ocean nasal spray. And then,(lol) there is Biatine mouth spray. It helps your dru mouth produce more saliva. Damn this tx is so dehydrating !http://facebook.com/people/andTrudy-Kinsey/1340460877 " "A well- behaved woman never made history"...Mae West

Hi Cheryl

Im sorry that your man isnt helping you much.

Please dont get too mad at him, because everyone has different abilitys and strengths.

Remember, we all have discussed our spouces.

A caregiver goes through alot too, almost as much as the patient themselves.

And you know that worry and concern can almost block a person from doing just about anything else that they might be needing to do.

Im sure your man loves you a great deal.

Let that be the bottom line, and not what else he might or might not be strong at doing.

Cheryl - water water water. LOL :-)

Food too, as much as you can.

I dont know what to suggest for the dry eyes.

Im sorry but I havent done treatment yet, but other people here have.

Maybe they will chip in and give you some suggestions for relief.

Talking to your doctor too, is a good idea.

Cheryl, Im still blasting you with love, healing, and lotsa good energy.

Hang in there my friend.

One day all this will be over.

love

Hi Don,

So excited to hear about your new TV, it is so nice to watch tv on a bigger screen. Hate hearing your fibro is not being so kind to you, but I am glad you are otherwise good. You deserve that and more for the kindness you show us all.

I have been ok, struggling some. Today shot is week 8 for me, I see the new gastro Kaiser assigned me to next wednesday. I hope I like her. Tired and fatigued are an understatement of tx. I am trying so hard to drink water, but I know I am not drinking enough. My husband does not help me and lately we have been doing nothing but fighting. A lot of it is me, I am so snippy but then again he is so not supportive and doesn't help me at all. But it is whatever!

Been having trouble with my eyelids drying and itching everyday. Vaseline will help sometimes, when that stops working I use curel or eucerin. I use ice everyday to try to keep them from swelling. I am going to discuss that with the new doctor when I see her.

Thanks again for taking the time out of your day to check on us all!! I appreciate it because I feel so alone in this fight sometimes. God Bless you Don

Huggsss

Cheryl

Howdy ya'll

I was just wondering how you all are doing?

Im playing at Mother Hen today. LOL :-)

Me?

My Fibro is throwing a fit, but otherwise Im doing well.

And I just looked in the fridge, and I still have a couple of slices of chocolate cake left too, so life is good. :-)

[Yes, Im addicted. Can you tell?]

I finally managed to buy my very first TV last tuesday.!!!!!!!!!

Never bought one before in all of my 60 years.

Its true, sad to say.

Never had the money before, so Ive always had 'hand-me-downs'.

Ive been saving for the last year for this day.

I got a 32" flat screen from WallyWorld.

Now I can see what Ive been missing all this time.

Im about blind, and with my old 20", I just couldnt make anything out.

Please say hi when you all feel to.

Im still blasting each one of you with love, healing, and mountains of good energy.

Be well my friends.

love

don in ks
