So basically I have all those things in my eye. Does anyone else have all those things? I have been suffering with them for almost 6 years. My eyes get SO red, like the whole white is just red, and not just veins like just RED. Sometimes itch, and sometimes have the gritty feeling but the biggest problem is the redness.
I was first prescribed FML (fluorometholone) 3 years ago. My dr. at the time told me to use it 4 times a day for 2 weeks and then stop. That took away the redness for about 2 months then it would always come back. I would go back and he would tell me to do the same thing. I was with that dr for like 2 years then I had to change drs because of my health insurance. My new dr also prescribed FML but told me to taper off after a few weeks, like lessen the dosage towards the end.
But no matter what I do, my eyes ALWAYS become insanely red even after I taper off. I feel like because they have been addicted to the FML for 3 years its going to be hard to do and I wonder if its even possible? :/
Does anyone have any tapering advice?
Right now I am trying
4x a day for 1 week
3x a day for 1 week
2x a day for 1 week
1x a day for 1 week
I am on my 3rd week. Also does anyone think it would be good to use 1 drop every few days after that 4th week?
I just recently started eye scrubs and warm massages about a month ago and restasis twice a day.
I also use Zatidor and systane and genteal.
ANY advice is so much appreciated.
Thank you so much for your time and for reading.
