Extreme dry eyes; could it be the Tymlos?
I've had dry eyes in the past that I managed to cope with. I started Tymlos about 2 months ago. Lately my eyes are so dry that I'm almost panicking about what to do. I have an appointment tomorrow but I'm finding that I'm conscious of my dry eyes almost from the moment I wake up to when I go to bed. This is not normal for me. And, yes, they don't list dry eye for Tymlos but I'm wondering if anyone has had this experience and should I have to stop the Tymlos, am I early enough in the Tymlos process to not cause issues with stopping. I'm feeling kind of desperate. Who would have known that dry eyes would be so debilitating. I'm 71, Type 1 diabetes well treated, pretty active female.

Not sure about the association, but dry eyes is extremely common and can be treated successfully.

1 Reaction@tillymack Thanks, I do know that dry eye is common. However, I also have some cornea issues possibly stemming from a dry eye disease. From the sound of it, it's not just your typical dry eye. I was just trying to eliminate the Tymlos possibility. My ophthalmologist has been focusing more on my retinas (due to the Type 1 diabetes) and I feel like my corneas got a bit neglected. Tomorrow is a cornea focused appointment. There are some days where I feel like my doctors aren't communicating clearly with me. For instance, at my last appointment, my favorite Dr. mentioned a genetic cornea disease that was in my records. Unless I've completely forgotten, this was never clearly stated to me or I would have been relentlessly researching it (academic librarian here). Appreciated!
