desperate

[louisvillemom]

I have been on the board a few months and have gone to a doctor recommended on here but have gotten worse. I am in constant pain and discomfort. My problems started 3 years ago when I had blepharoplasty. I have been to 3 doctors but I am steadily worse. I have restasis on and off. I do lid scrubs, warm compresses and massage, artificial tears all to no effect. I am praying for improvement but am getting more and more discouraged. I have read on here about experimental DHEA drops and other things but the doctor said he is uncomfortable with that. Anyone with any suggestions. Anyone know of an expert in the U.S. anywhere?

Hi and welcome,

What part of the States are you in.

I've read your recent posts....You might consider reading the "Plug a Doc" section to find a new doctor.

There are two dry eye specialists at the Cincinnati Eye Institute...which wouldn't be too far a drive from Louisville.

Good luck!

thank you very much.

Teri, thanks so much. I had looked at the plug a doc which is how I ended up with Dr. Foulks. I hadn't seen the Cincinnati reference. I will look again. I am in Kentucky to the previous poster.
