    Hi Terry is this through Sjogrens?

    I would get this checked immediately. I am under the eye dept at the hospital and have regular checks. I was told that anything like what you experience to contact them immediately. Good Luck👌

      Thank you - my eye doctor says it is neuropathic pain and he can not do anything more.  I'm starting a nerve pain medication, but have never heard of this.

    you need to see opthamologist immediately. You might have an infection.  I had a herpes infection in my eye (following cataract surgery) I lost 60% of vision ..but got loads of different meds and eyesight got restored. If you have Sjogrens and are on plaquenil you should be seeing the optha. Dr every 6 months.

    Hi Terry are you under a Rheumy for your Sjogrens? If so make an appointment to see them.

    I was on Gabapentin for my Neuropathic pain.

    Good Luck 👌

    Hi Terry no sorry it was for intercostal neuralgia around my ribs from my Lung surgery. I was in agony and on a high dose but they did work. You could check this with your GP.

    Good Luck👌
