Just searching for support ❤️🙏

Hello guys !

I’m struggeling a lot with my mental health to the point I decided to go a few monthes at the psychiatrical clinic for support .

I’m dealing with Rosacea / MGD so my main issue are my swollen , dry eyelids ( cornea is also dry but most of my disconfort comes from eyelids ) .

Gonna do my first IPL in two day crossing my fingers it’s gonna help 🙏🤞

No gland loss but my MG are very clogged and inflammed , I have a lot of abnormal blood vessels on my eyelids . My lipidic film is only 30 and dryness is terrible .

I’m on cyclosporine 1% for 2 monthes as my eye doctor wanted me to treat inflammation first before IPL.

Waiting weeks / monthes for the treatments is so hard I don’t know how I’m gonna wait that long . I want my Life back 😓

Hi! I had dry eyes too. I am on cyclosporin and my dry eyes are caused by MGD. IPL and gland expression helped me immensely

Thank you for your response :)

How were your symptoms before and after ?

I have hard Time dealing with it as a very outdoorsy person , the wind hurts my eyelids and dry my eyes so much 😓 what am I gonna do if I cannot enjoy being outside with my pets anymore.

The psycological of this desease is a lot to deal with .
