I see an ophthalmologist (surgery doctor on eyes) and he does not see what I feel in my eyes. I have dry eyes too and tearing and eyeball pain some times. All he could tell me was to take artificial tears for the dry eyes. He does not know how to treat the eyeball pain or what it even is. Blurred vision is a common symptom from fibromyalgia. I have not been able to follow in a book for many years only if it is just a short paragraph maybe. Join some FB groups on fibro and you will find loads of information. Good luck.

This happens to me. Does sugar or certain foods high in yeast affect you guys? I think they impact me. I believe I am fighting candida on top of this which is making it worse.
