I kinda figured.

My eyes are HORRIBLE! I wake in the middle of the night, and my eyes are glued shut! I cant even open them. they are not crusted over, its just that there is NO moisture to be able to even open them. My MD reccomended that I use baby shampoo, the no tears stuff, and make a solution of 10% baby shampoo, and 90% water. I use that mix on a thick wash cloth to wash my eye lids, eye brows, and lash line BEFORE bed. I then put on some FML ointment, or over the counter eye ointment, and go to sleep. This breaks up the dead crusts that happen ontop of the oil glands, stimulates them to release more oil, and brings blood flow to the area. its really helpful.

I suck on candy, lozengers, or chew gum. It keeps my mouth moist. I try to keep hydrated and it helps my sinus flow stay thinner, and easier to swallow or cough past. Always clearing my throat, I just thought it was something I had to live with, but was told its because my sinus drainage is so thick from lack of moisture.

go to Sjogrens.com and sign up for the moisture seekers newsletter, and stuff. I also got those eye pads or goggles that have moist packs, with heat/ice discs in them. VERY Soothing! They have a great website.

I am glad you found some answers.
