Just an Update

Well, still waiting to see if someone else will be tested at MUSC. I feel like I am on hold once again...playing the waiting game. I have been tired too, my Doc allowed me to get my procrit injection 6 days early. That helped.

I have an eye doctor appointment on Thursday. I have been having blurred and double vision lately. I think it happens more when my eyes are dry and tired. I think prescription eyedrops will be called for. I also need new glasses and definitely something for the sun!

I think I have said "I Think" a bunch of times in this post....enough about me!

EYE...Chihuahua




My eyes are not being nice. I finally got my drool back and now my eyes are dry. They hurt and look like I have one heck of a hangover.

Dry eyes are one of the most common symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome. With this symptom, eyes may be red and burn and itch. I feel like I have sand in my eyes. Also, vision may be blurry and bright lights are bothersome.

The Sjogren's foundation has a good write up on dry eyes. Check it out. It is worth the read!
