RE: FCT test
To answer your question... No, I did NOT feel any additional tears in my eyes when I tickled my nose with the cotton swab (and hit '5' on the strip). I actually couldn't believe it when she said that I got that high... I wasn't even that high on the Schirmer's test when I first started with dry eye in 1995.
As for doctor's appointments... I now take a pad and pen with me and write down everything... for e.g., I ALWAYS ask what my pressures are (because I use steroid drops) and if he/she conducts any tests, I ask for the name and the result. I would recommend that for anyone.
Good luck with your puncta.
