  • Lacrimal Gland deficiency

    Lacrimal Gland deficiency - So this is where I'm up to, but I have had all the blood work done, no sjogrens, no lupus (GREAT) but why then, why are my eyes like this?

    I don't know.

    My schirmer test is low either.

    Chronic inflammation in my eyes (despite rednessless) I think is the reason why, in my case.

      Hoe old are you? And when you cry do tears come out.

        I'm 38, male. The onset was 14 months ago.

        Yes, I have tears crying, as before.

          Don't be too fast to rule out Sjogren's with just a blood test. Many Sjogren sufferers will test negative on blood work, I am one of them. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20646416
          I did however test positive with a biopsy. If in doubt, ask for a biopsy. It left a numb spot on my lip but it was worth it to have a diagnosis....F/G
