Make sure you mention it to your doctor, especially the eyes, as that can cause problems if you don't deal with it. They can prescribe natural tears eyedrops that will help, though you can actually just buy those over the counter (and that will be cheaper than paying for a prescription in England at less than £2 a bottle). You can also get something for your vagina to keep it moist as well.

Some medications will cause dryness, you will need to discuss that with your GP.

They can give eye drops to maintain moisture. Certain medications can also cause a dry mouth, sometimes mints may help. Sorry I can not recommend anything for below although there are certain lubrications that may work

Amitriptyline definitely causes dry mouth. You can get gel which helps produce 'spit#.

Hi.

Yes following my B/I in 1998 my Stroke took out my left side.

I had a Dry Eye on my effected side. Initially they stitched up my eye lids for a few weeks. I then was referred to the eye hospital where I was given eye drops.

Unfortunately my condition worsened so I asked the to stitch the eyelids together as due to my disabilities I could no longer deal with.

I can give you the details off one off them which worked really really well ??

Steve.
