Expressing UPPER MG Glands?

[Sammy B.]

All,

Has anyone found a doctor who expresses their upper MGs with as much success as they can with the lowers? And I'm talking about - with a tool or a q-tip, not just by pressing on the lids with their fingers?

If our lowers are so blocked, aren't our uppers??

Thanks in advance for any nuggets of insight you might have,
Rose

yes. my upper glands are always more clogged than my lowers. my doc in Louisville is excellent.. uses q-tips.. he learned his technique from my doc who retired-dr. foulks..
don't know anyone tho in the florida area. sorry

Thanks for the response, Jenny. Hey, at least I know it's possible!!

A doctor recently put me on doxy and I had a gland burst open last night along the upper lid margin with the typical hardened stuff (gross). To me, that's a sign that I probably need a true expression up there! I will start the process of finding a local doc I guess...

I have been to so many doc, and none of them offered even thou I am very clogged. only last one said that he does the bottom lids only, he did alittle for me and it was so painful. it made thing worse for me. be careful....
