Don’t be, it does work for many. I wanted to do it because it was my own blood and a natural thing to use in my eyes. I’ve had tubes put in and that helps some. I use so many drops for dry eyes and sometimes a steroid mix prescription because it can get so bad.
I use prescription toothpaste from my dentist and a dry mouth type mouth wash. Honestly, I’d be happy with a diagnosis. Doctors just treat the problem and don’t seem to care about why you have it first.
I have thyroid issues as well, I’m hypo. Recently I have huge bulges of water bags under my eyes so of course I go and see my eye doc. He said I think thyroid related. I call Endo doc. I also have flushed dry cheeks going on as well. She decides to check tsh and cortisol only. My tsh was elevated so med change but no concern with my symptoms. Cortisol was normal. So I guess it’s all okay.
