Runny eyes

[Pennypetra]

Hi everyone

I have scleroderma and recently have been constantly affected with runny eyes, runny nose and dribbling mouth. Does anyone else have this

[MDulle]

Me too, Pennypetra! I thought I was alone in this respect since I have not read of anyone else complaining of it. Anyway, I take antihistamines daily and that helps a little. I always have tissues tucked into my sleeve, or pocket to wipe my eyes, or my nose.

Let's hope someone else has an answer on how to solve it.

Thanks MDulle for replying I will try antihistamines. Am due to see specialist in October so I will see if he says anything.

I hope your consultant will be able to be of more help. M

I don't have runny eyess -- but oh yes, runny nose and dribbly mouth. I didn't even associate it with Raynauds or Scleroderma.....intersting!

Thanks for your reply. I really don't know if it is to do with scleroderma but it is so annoying

I have the dribble! but dry eyes and nose....just gotta be different! I use a lot of tissues wiping my mouth....annoying when you don't realise it is dribbling until you feel it drip off your chin...grrr! I notice it gets worse when I have done anything physically exerting-like weeding in the garden or housework...at rest it doesn't seem as bad at all...very strange!

Thanks for that. I will post again once I have spoken to the consultant. Then we will all know
