just had a shower and sweat dripping off me, waste if time bothering. oozing out of my forehead, scalp. hate it but been told not menopause. Also, I have had an irritated eye for a few days in the left eye, left hand corner. I have a floater and cataract in this eye too but optician told me cataract hardly visible. I have used opted today to see if that helps but to no avail. getting so fed up keep going to the doctors so see how it feels on Monday. I get paranoid I am being a nuisance. Anyone else feeling like this or have eye problems. I was tested for sjogrens via lip biopsy but came back inconclusive. my mouth, throat, upper pallet feel so dry 24hours a day, no matter how much I try to quench my thirst. getting really low as my tribunal is on 6th September and all I am doing is googling about it and driving myself mad with worry.

No Mandy your not being paranoid our eyes are a very important piece of our bodies, glad you are in contact with opticians definitely book an appointment if your worried , out of hours 111 as bank holiday Monday, really hard to quench constant thirst , meds might play a part that’s a question you could ask your doctor , orange juice topped up with lemonade is one of my favourites. Hope the 6th is not too bad , easy said than done trying not to worry but I hope chatting and sharing experiences on our forum helps. Xx

I know it’s easy to say - but try not to google. It is difficult not to worry but I think that when we become anxious our symptoms exasperate. It’s a vicious cycle! You shouldn’t feel guilty going to your gp. They are paid to help everyone but I know what you mean. My doctor is lovely but I find that when I go I make light of my symptoms so that I don’t come across as a nuisance. We probably feel like this because the doctors don’t understand fibro so don’t know what to do with us ( well some of them) . Sounds like you are going through a particularly bad spell. It will get a bit better so hang in there. Xx

My g.p. has been baffled by my night immflamation rate of 72 as fibro isn't immflamation. been high a long time. I was tested for sjogrens by having a lip biopsy which came back inconclusive. My mouth, throat, pallett has been dry for years and years, wear a mouth guard as grind my teeth which also done for years. My eyes always feel so heavy and irritated at times/gritty/discomfort in them. everything stresses me out. I drive myself mad lol. xx

I know, it's awful, runs down my back too, in parts I don't want to mention too. It's so awful and I get paranoid about if I smell but I don't, I check lol. I am tired and heavy eyed as usual and very anxious/stressed about my upcoming tribunal. A chap on here John the guy has done me a statement regarding exceptional circumstances and it's excellent, it's just how I am regarding my illnesses. I need to submit to the court for consideration but still apprehensive about doing it as I struggle to trust people. I didn't write this statement and it's so professional so I am worried as I am not clever. All I do is worry about everything, always been a severe worrier. I worry about worry lol. Xxx

Hi I’ve always got an irritated eye which is worse during hay fever season. Anti histamines and hot water showers ease it for me. X

I don't suffer with hay fever. I have taken anti-histamines for insect bites and they make me feel really strange. I have had a lip biopsy to test for sjogrens disease but it came back inconclusive so I don't know if it is dry eyes. Xx

I am under a rheumatologist and he has tested me for sjogrens disease. I had a lip biopsy and it came back inconclusive. Fibro isn't immflamation which is why he has tested me as sjogrens is immflamation I think. Locking post, how do I do that and is it something I should do? ThankYou. Xx
