I have a problem with dry eyes and it effects an old eye injury...when the eye is too dry,like when the furnace runs in the winter, and you blink, it actually rubs off the microscopic healing of the injury and its like you stuck a stick in your eye all over again...pain, watering eye and the nostril on that side runs like crazy...Lasts for about 3 days so in the winter I use a humidifier in the hall outside of my bedroom....haven't had it act up in several years, but the pain is horrible, also use OTC eye ointment helps in the winter...

In Michigan the furnace runs for about 7 months out of the year...dry's out the air in the house...

What OTC ointment do you use?
I have been putting neosporin around mine.

I tried some samples of Clinque but not sure if I want to invest in that, I suppose the wrinkles are going to come on at the rate they are regardless.

Having o2/mist concentrators in our room for KV (trach/quad son) I don’t need heat on in the winter and actually open the windows to keep us cool. We live on the PNW coast literally so the saline in the air is great for our health needs.

I am so use to sleeping with a fan on my bedside and that is the worst thing next to having a dachshund snuggle in my face.

I clean the fan thouraly and often but that doesn’t seem to help it is the air flow that gets my eyes.

I have really bad sleep apnea so the fan along with the o2 helps (cpap was a horrible exp. nightmares of being strangled)
I don’t think the settings were right and the guy that services our area is quick to get people into sleep lab but sucks at the follow up.

I am almost wondering if platic is an irratent as my nose canula and glasses seem to cause allot of intense itching.

Speaking of the Son is awake and needing medical care be back after first shift is over.
