I have had lupus since 1986 and for the last year have been experiencing dry mouth (I m using Biotene at bedtime), and also have dryness of the eyes to the extent that when I wake up I have to pry open my eye; I use Systane daily, Systane night treatment and Visine for redness, and TheraTears; seems to be more of a problem during the night. Seems to be better using systane. I see a rheumatologist 2 times a year, and an opthamologist (I m seeing him for the first time tomorrow; but have been seeing an eye dr once a year, who really didn t address the issue. Should I continue using what I am now; interested in hearing what the eye dr, says tomorrow. Thanks.
