After weeks of painful nights caused by RCE, I seem to have hit on a combination of stuff that helped me thru the night! I had set my alarm for 2am as been my latest coping strategy, but woke up naturally at 1:30 with no pain, and my eyes actually felt OK- not dry or starting to get sore! I was so confident I put in a bit more goop and went to sleep with no alarm set, until I woke up at 6:30 feeling like a normal person! No light sensitivity, grittiness etc. as it has been for the past few weeks.
Here's what I did:
GenTeal gel drops a few times during the day and evening
GenTeal Gel at night
Warm compress before bed
2 aspirins before bed
Lots of water during the day
I had been using LacriLube as recommended by my Dr. before with not-great results, so I think the GenTeal Gel was the real success in the formula (or perhaps the combination of everything)
Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic (well, euphoric really) to have some hope after 3 weeks of horrible nights and an emergency room trip, so I'm going to keep up the routine, and try for many good nights to come.
Thanks to this site, and the people who've posted! It's given me so much hope and good information!
