I’m sorry. I have same symptoms and severe neuropathy. It’s a race witch hurts worse any day.
I’m finding holistic help th most effective. Try to ditch as many Rx as u can. It’s th main cause of most arthritic conditions. Acidic ph with a poss. Gene mutation.
These then stop th thyroid n festive responses and th liver can’t effectively make th hormone conversions so hormones get unbalanced too. Been going down this road 40+ yrs n didn’t know it.
Detoxify by cleaning up food/ water to organic only.
Pharmaceuticals acidify th ph n arthritis takes off bad. Antibiotics throw off th bodies abilities to use zinc, D3 n calcium. Th calcium gets dumped because th body needs zinc, magnesium ( all but oxide) n potassium, along with D3.
Use a sunlight lamp if u can’t get sun. Vital to energize cells.
We are batteries n need to b charged especially when sick.
Study holistic remedies, organic meals n drinks to solve issues. FOOD is medicine.
FOOD can change DNA. I’ve read this so many times as my docs kept saying “we don’t know what causes arthritis “.
Now, I know.
Adrenal fatigue from stress n toxic body is actually a killer. My adrenals quit around 2010. I’m STILL trying to fix it.
Only started to educate myself extensively in 2017.
I would quit all meds but my neuropathy pain is way off th charts.
Anything to feed th body, mind( meditation), and spirit will heal.
Healing music helps too.
Some is free online.
I learned meditation in about 2 weeks when I was military. It’s helped me in so many ways since🙂
When arthritis starts th thyroid quits. Find a good functional medicine Dr.
They’re a huge help🙂
Love yourself. Healing does happen.
Blessings n Prayers 💕🇺🇸✝️
Hi Libertyusa.
I’ve had a nasty eye experience fr a few yrs running after camping by a river and forgot my contacts.
Sulpher based spa helps a ton.
Daily baby shampoo n a q-tip to wash lids is a Godsend.
At night I use castor oil on lashes ( antibacterial).
Makes lashes grow too.
Good luck, feel better
There are some meds I can’t just stop taking: hypertension, depression, diuretic, cardiac, etc. I have never been able to tolerate sun due to a 40 year period of migraine. You have some very good advice for others and much food for thought. Thanks!
Be careful with drops from India. I know some have been recalled due to contaminated with fungus. Many people have gotten sick from them...and one has died.

4 ReactionsI have had dry eyes for 20 plus years. I am on Systain eye drops twice a day. I have read that running a humidifier helps? I am currently using one now? Anyone else using a humidifier?
I really can't afford plugs.

1 ReactionI have had dry eyes for many years. I started with commercial types, made in USA or Canada. Now I use ones that are made in Germany and can be purchased at any pharmacy in Canada, Germany & Switzerland. HYLO GEL. These drops can also be purchased online. All the best, Marianne

1 ReactionWe run 2-3 humidifiers because the air is so dry. Its to help some ailments. It didn’t occur to me that it could help dry eye. I’ve had dry eye for over 23 years. I’ve had punctual plugs (a help), restasis (could not tell if they helped), individual use eye drops, lubrication at night at times (helped, helped). When I use moisturizing eye drops it helps improve vision. I hope you feel better. If you are using a computer, when looking at the screen, try to blink more often. Believe it or not, it makes a difference. Hope you feel better.

7 ReactionsI have had plugs put in my lower eyes many years ago and I may have to have it done in my upper eye lids. I also use refresh drops and ointment at night. I think I have spent over $50,000 over the years for drops.
