Hello,

Just starting to experience a sort of soreness around my eyes. Don't know if they are a little bit dry as well, often find myself rubbing them. There is a sore/dry patch on the outside of my right eye. Has anyone else been troubled by this? Is it a side effects of meds, I take Amitriptylene? Wecome any advice, thanks

Take care, Anne

    Hi Anne, yes, when I am having a bad bout I get very dry eyes (but not around the outside). I don't think it's to do with my medication (Lyrica). I just use any soothing eye drops from the chemist and wait for the bout to pass. My eyes usually recover as my body does. I wonder if you find this problem fluctuates along with your fatigue and pain?

      Hello Tigs,

      Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. Certainly something to think about, as I have been having a bad week. Thank-you.

      Take care, Anne

    Hello Anne..

    I have the dry itchy eyes like you, but I don't take the same drug. I have had it for quite some time, and guessed it was another symptom of our friend Fibro..

    Regards
