I have mgd and when my eyes are dry they are itchy, watery, stinging, burning just the usual symptoms.
However, some days I have a completely different type of eye pain. It's more intense like an ache or very deep pressure on my upper eye lids but right up near my orbital bone.
First I was prescribed migrane tablets as I felt it wasn't my actual eyes that were the problem but it was more like a headache that just happened to manifest on my eyelid.
However this didn't work so I'd like to know if this sounds at all familiar with any fellow dry eye sufferers as I cannot get relief (strong pain killers do not work I just have to bare the pain and i can usually sleep it off that night and wake up and the pain be gone). I'll nearly never have it two days in a row but on bad periods I'll have it a purple of times a week but on good periods I won't have it at all for maybe 2 weeks. It usually starts either when I wake up or early morning and I can't get rid of it and have to wait to go to sleep that night to sleep it off.
Any thoughts?!
