Dear Lauren, It is quite normal to have red, dry eyes, with these illnesses. You will need some artificial tears, sure that will help. I also have Bletharitis, and blocked ducts and cataracts forming, and only antibiotic drops help a bit. Love from Roselil

God bless you, Lauren. Your symptoms are typical of dry-eye syndrome.

I've had dry eyes for about 2 years, and sensitive to light, not even sure doctors know of the link but I do after researching it all, was going to mention it next time

hi just getting over a bout of Epi Scloritis red and painful eyes. If you get stabbing pains or blurred vision get them checked out at a good options. Drops especially for dry eyes are a great help.

Dry eye syndrome seems to go hand in hand with fibro for a high number of people. I have Hylo Forte drops on repeat prescription. Also had a few attacks of blepharitis but managed to keep it away for the past few years. You could try an opticians appointment ( if they’re still operating normally) That will be a very thorough eye examination and out your mind at rest.

I'm only getting hypermelose as that's all my doctor said they do for dry eyes but a pharmacist said about something called forte, I'll ask my doctor for it now you've reminded me what it's called

And ill mention that there's a link between fibromyalgia and dry eyes

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It’s full name is Hylo Forte. I’ve used them for years. Tried a gel but I had a bad reaction to it.

Thanks holly berry I has eye test 3 months ago all fine so I'm sure it's to do with the fibromyalgia as many people have this its just so good to know as I get blurred vision to xxx

Dry eyes and dry mouth is frustrating but I’ve been experiencing it for years now. It’s listed as a side effect on many of the meds typically prescribed for fybro. So for those of us with daily meds made up with a combination of multiple drugs with this effect we just adapt. So sadly it is quite a high number of person’s with fybro and chronic pain/fatigue type conditions that experience these dry, irritating effects. I had asked my GP for help for this I don’t know how many times over the years but have never been given anything from them, just advised to get off the shelf eye drops.

I find the eye mist spray helps. Though myself dry mouth is a the bigger problem. My mouth goes so dry it can effect my swallowing, I try to talk and my lips grip to my teeth and my tongue goes absolutely bone dry to the touch. But I always carry a pot of spearmint gum with me, I have found this the fastest way to trigger the moisture in my mouth.

Hope this helps

I think there are times when we worry about our health ,we can feel alittle vulnerable and good we have somewhere like the forum to share our questions and thoughts. I tend to use eye drops more when the central heating is on , my eyes always feel more dry and sometimes itchy. But sometimes my local pharmacist is on hand to answer my questions when I don’t want to ring surgery. Hope you get some quality sleep this week xxxx

I littrally have to pour eye drops into my eyes, I get 3 bottles at a time off my doctor lol

If there was something wrong with your liver you’d be peeing rust coloured urine and you’d look yellowish .

[Hidden in reply to Binky68]

Thanks Hun I just itch and get sore eyes then worry but all my bloods are fine so I need to start excepting the evidence rather than being a looney x

[Binky68 in reply to Hidden]

Dear Lauren, It is often a problem to have dry eyes and bletharitis alongside fibromyalgia. Moorfields eye hospital recommended I use hylo forte, blephaclean wipes and a eye compress heat bag which are of great help. Hope you get some relief soon from this distressing condition.
