HI Cindi,

I've had the same problem off and on for years. A few back it was thought that I had Lupus and a rheumatologist checked me for that and Sjogren's syndrome. I had a mildly positive for Lupus but it turned out I have discoid lupus, not systemic tho that can cause the dry eyes. I have also heard from others that RSD can cause dry eyes and many of the meds used to treat it can as well.

I would check with your Dr to be on the safe side tho.

For relief - I use eye drops or place a cool, wet washcloth over them and rest for a bit.
