Anyone else have dry eyes/vision changes with their MS? My neurologist says he doesn't think it's my MS, my optic nerves look good on MRI and every other test that has been run. I wear contacts, have for many years and wonder if that is why my eyes are dry now. October 2017 my vision seemed to dim, I can still see all everything but the brightness has changed...almost like wearing sun glasses. Steroid treatments helped a bit but I think my vision is still only about 90 of what it was before… read more
I have had optic nerve damage from the MS. It has healed itself now. But for the last couple of years my eyes started burning and itching and drying out. Now I have to keep oils and creams on the skin around my eyes and put drops in my eyes several times a day.
What is ANA?
I have crazy dry eyes too. I think it’s more related to getting older than having or treating ms :)
I'm finding I have a positive ANA test now, where as before I didn't. I see my primary doctor on Monday and am hoping he can help shed some more light...wondering if I've developed something else. Prayerfully it's just the MS. Lord knows that's enough to bear in itself.

do you have MS too? what kind of treatment is there for Sarcoid? I also saw something about sjogrens Syndrom, yet another autoimmune disease. Sorry for all the questions...who found your sarcoid diagnosis?
