Question About Eyes ๐Ÿ‘€

Does anyone's eyes feel really heavy at times? Like they're extremely fatigued and feel as if the muscles around your eye are strained?

It becomes very hard to keep my eyes open sometimes & it makes my fatigue/tiredness worse. Don't know if I'm alone on this one ๐Ÿง

Ya, this happened a lot when I'd take abilify in the morning. Now I take at night and it seems to help a little bit

How many hours a day do you spend looking at a PC screen or the screen on your phone flicking round the Internet? Try turning down the brightness real low, it can make a difference.

I spend a lot of my day looking at a computer and phone screen. Iโ€™ll definitely give that a shot and see if that helps. Thanks!

It happens to me. For me I think its stress and being tired. It often comes with a headache.

I feel like this often but I have very dry eyes. I'm sure stress and not sleeping well isn't helping, as well as all this dryness in the air from the heat being on. Maybe try some lubricating eye drops, they help your eyes feel "fresh" for a few minutes at least.

I do use eye drops once and a while. Even if itโ€™s for a few minutes it does provide me with some relief ๐Ÿ˜Š

Yes I do, but I don't know if it's tiredness or fibromyalgia or Sjรถgren's syndrome
