My poor old eyes!

I had the punctal plugs put in the bottom. they did help some, but not enough. I am gonna go have the upper plugs done.

yes! I was very confused. I had a firm Dx of MS, then this RA sez, nope, its SJS! I was concerned, confused, and more than a bit nervous. I am Negative for blood work for it, and lupus, and I am negative for lots of other things that SJS has. I drool at night (dont tell anyone) so I must have moisture in my mouth...yes? I have very dry skin, and other dry things, but in the face of all of those negative things, there is no need to pull me off a path with firm diagnostic critera being met through MRI, blood work, and so on to put me on a path with lots of non markers.

so, my eyes are VERY dry, and I hope the quad plugs will do the trick.

congrats on having an answer, Dj, kind of an oxy moron statement i am still not sure how to approach this congradulating someone for having MS but at least the doubts and not knowing are gone, sometimes that limbo and or being miss DXed can be worse, suspended animation,

Glad you got an answer and the C seems to be working, oh and if DM shows you the secret handshake make sure she cleans the pixie stuff off her hand

Glad to hear you have a dx, congratulations it's MS? Or not.

Knowledge is power. So glad the Copax is working for you. Please continue your path to stabilization.

Glad to hear it's not primary sjogerns and you were on the right track all along. I've been praying for you. I hope you get some symptom relief for all your "dryness"

This is a hard one.....congratulations or commisserations....what does one say?

I'm sure you're glad to have a diagnosis even though it's probably not the best one you could have hoped for.

One good thing though.....you already have the bestest support group ever!
