    Hi Nanette,

    Hang int here. Logging in here seems to make us feel like we aren't just "imagining" our symptoms I think! I have dry eyes too and they water a lot.  My eye dr. prescribed some steroid drops that worked wonders, but short term. She also was the first to ask if I sleep with a ceiling fan on and when I said yes she said stop immediately. Very bad for the eyes.  Take care!

    OMG yesss mee! I cant go a day without constant tears rolling out of my left eye. I did go to eye dr n was given Xidra. Not only did that eye drop NOT help the taste of it was disgusting. But I do have to mention that I had my hormones tested and they were all extremely low. I have been on Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement therapy and my dry eye has stopped. I did read that low hormones can affect dry eyes.

      I think at one time I did get something from the chemist (I'm UK) but I cant remember now. Yes it is annoying it comes and goes and im two years post meno. I also suffered eye twitching too, my husband gets both aswell , I'm sure he has meno symptoms too! I have recently purchased some eye wash and I think there is one on the market for dry eyes. Sometimes the tears just drop out of me which can be annoying when your in the middle of the supermarket!

      Dear nanette

      That is the beauty of this site isn't it? Menopause can make us feel so alone at times but coming on here really helps to confirm that what symptoms we get are menopause related because sometimes the health anxiety plays with our minds and tells us differently xx

      Yeah that is so true 😔There is so much goin on health anxiety kicks in and everything is 20 times worse I'm 51 and some days feel about 70 I have a house full of men my husband and two teenage sons who I know love me but are not always sympathetic so it does help massively to be able to talk to other ladies in the same situation it is reassuring 😘My eye started twitching out of the blue stops and starts but I do believe this is all hormone related xxxx
