Lately ive had a recurrence of nausea, lack of appetite, ibs and dry eye. I remember having worse dry eye a few years back and think it might have correlated with lyme but cant remember.
Now i am wondering if my dry eye can be tick related. Has anyone had dry eye from lyme or babesia and had it resolve with treatment? Thanks❤️😊

lyme and bartonella in particular seem to drive this type of thing
it often seems to resolve with treatment it may come and go
it may not be a typical manifestation of auto-immune disease which are normally not easily reversed - but could be a transitory condition driven by the infection

Lymetoo,
Isn't Restasis immunosuppressive? Of course, even if it is, losing one's vision is worse!
Also, I know that you said that punctual plugs have helped you a lot. Are yours permanent?
My eye doctor kept dismissing my wanting to try them. She said, they fall in, or they fall out a lot. But I thought that if they help, they can be permanently inserted, right?
Thank you!
Plus, I worry that when I go on Medicare (soon), both Restasis and Xiidra, which I'm using, are massively expensive and not affordable. Now, I get a manufacturer's coupon to help with the co-pay. But those aren't allowed on Medicare!! Just when you need them.
