I had a similar feeling of lotion or Vaseline smeared over my eyes that lasted a few hours and went away—it was very scary at the time!
As I mentioned in another post here, did not really get an answer to this, I don’t think it’s my blood sugar like my PCP said—blood drawn the day I saw her showed I was in a PMR flare!! I also have very early cataracts according to the ophthalmologist, that so far I don’t need surgery for yet. My rheumatologist does not want to increase my prednisone (on 7.5 mg) because I’m on treatment for my osteoporosis (Reclast)! My one hope is the Actemra that he wants me to take. It is either an injection or infusion and hopefully will have no nasty side effects.
