 I am having horrible dry eyes today and I have a stye,which I havent had in years. Dr said increased stress can cause styes. Hmm. Well that would be me.

But the dryness is so bad. I dont think it is allergies as I am on medication and such. Does anyone else suffer from dry eyes? I cant even make tears today, it is weird.

 My meds dry my eyes and mouth. Could it be your meds? Antidepressants and muscle relaxants can do it.
I have dystonia, neuropathy, gerd, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel and other ailments. I enjoy embroidery,music, and reading my Bible and Christian books. I love to bake. I try to be very supportive and positive.

 Flexeril is a muscle relaxant that does cause dryness. I would see if that is what is causing the problem.
