Autoimmune diseases can be so wearing an hard. If you haven’t investigated alternative medicine or Complimentary Alternative Medicine (CAM) as it is sometimes referred to you might ask your family Doc for recommendations. Low dose antidepressant medications can also be a godsend for some people with chronic pain problems (not due to the antidepressant effect) so I would ask about that also. Pain is often very under treated and results in chronic depression. The RA may be causing dry eye and other symptoms. There are lots of tests for dry eyes but none are really good. If they feel dry and sting you probably have dry eyes. Find someone who will try treating it. Ask your family Doc about trying Omega 3-it could help the dry eye and the RA, it just takes a few months.
