Hi Maureen

My eyes have been very red and sore the last couple of weeks, but I'm very run down at the moment.

My eyes water like mad when it's cold/windy. So much that I cannot wear contact lenses.

My first thought was the same as Fibro Rocker. Could it be hayfever?

I am so genuinely sorry to read that you are experiencing this issue, and I must admit that I have been just recently. I do not know if it could the pollen this time of the year but if it becomes too problematic it may be bets to get it checked out?

I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

I suffer from dry eyes all the time but periodically I get a very watery eye - I have one at the moment. My optician told me it could be my eye over-compensating for being so dry, but I think it's pollution myself. It definitely became really bad when pollution levels went so high recently.

I got checked for sorjens antibodies after suffering for a couple of years w weird eye stuff? Maybe you have something else adding to the fibro.

I've had fibro for at least 15 yrs but just got blood tests for these other illnesses.. Don't know if there is a tie to auto immune and fibro?

Good luck and be goofy today!

yes use drops too yes dry eyes water its due to fact wee glands in lid do not produce a lubricant to protect the eye so blast of cold makes them water more
