Any success stories with probing?

[wjdwhdjs]

Thanks for the reply. I have tried restasis, xiidra, lipiflow, iLux, and Azithromycin, but haven't had major success with them. Well, for iLux, I felt some improvement, but it subsided within few days. I have been expressing the glands myself, but didn't see much oil coming out. I have IPL on the list, but can definitely see myself getting probing done.

I have been reading your comments throughout the forum, and it has been very informative! Thank you for sharing.

Sorry if this is side tracking, but as you may already know, proving is quite invasive and not without risks. Have you exhausted other forms of therapy which have lower risks as well? For example, IPL, LipiFlow, Xiidra, Restasis, Azithromycin?

Probing definitely has its place in the disease, but its a solution for every1. Probing can clear obstructions in the glands, but it may not reduce inflammation which caused the obstructions in the first place.

Hi there, I'm trying to give probing a shot, but haven't seen any success stories. Wondering if anyone had good experience with it. Did it help?
