Hey!
For introducing myself:
At the age of 16, it all started, with burning eyes, that I couldn't even keep my eyes open for approximately half a year. And then suddenly it stopped.
At the age of 21 the problems came back. At the beginning it was just a dry left eye when studying too much in front of the PC and so on. Over the time it got worse, probably also because one doctor couldn't really find the problem. One year was pretty up and down but in the end after coming back from the US to Europe I realised that my pain got chronic/permanent on my left eye, I got diagnosed one and a half month ago with Blepharits, severe dry left eye. (TBUT under one second)
It's really horrible and a hard struggle to fight every day from morning to bedtime and when you wake up in the night. After treatment of various antibiotics & so on (don't want to bore you;-)), Eye Lid Hygiene, I am since two weeks on Minostad (Doxycyline).
I know it's too early to say that it does not work at all but I can't see any improvements at all. I hope the eye lid care, the antibiotics, Doxy and myself will ever work again;-(, but it will!;-) I will definitely keep you updates about my conditions. As all of you I will do anything to get a handle on my dry eye problem; the next step will be Restasis, DHEA or the serum.
For all of you; don't give up, we'll fight it!
