Synnove,

I'm glad you had the Schirmer's test and it sounds like your results are indicative of Sjogren's. The Restasis does take a little while before you notice improvement...even more than a month, in my opinion. But having him follow-up to make sure you are least experiencing SOME (even minimal) improvement is a good idea.

Your symptoms overall do sound like Sjogren's.

If you have night time eye symptoms (or first thing when you wake up), there is an ointment called Aqua Tears that your ophthalmologist can prescribe. It is used right before bed (as an ointment will cause blurry vision) and helps with severe dry eyes.

Keep in mind the Restasis can burn a little when you first start using it...this is normal...not a sign of a problem. It subsides some over time, but may not completely go away. But it's just after you put the drops in and only lasts a short time.
