Tørre øyne og testosteron

Jeg er temmelig sikker på at mine tørre øyne kommer av mine hormonproblemer. Øyelegen holder det åpent, men sier at det selvfølgelig kan være en mulighet. Jeg har ikke Sjøgrens. Men tørre øyne og hypo er ikke uvanlig. Den amerikanske legen Jeffery Dach snakker om testosteron og tørre øyne http://jeffreydach.com/2010/03/19/te...-dach-md.aspx/ I denne linken ligger det mye forskning, ta det med til legen din

En av pasienthistoriene hans
Mrs. B was 58 years old with typical menopausal symptoms of night sweats and hot flashes, and came to see me because of dry itchy, red eyes. The lids sometimes swell because of the irritation. Over the years, Mrs B had been to numerous eye doctors who gave her various drops to lubricate the eye, antibiotic drops and steroid drops. She has been given instructions for cleaning and irrigating the eyes. The eye drops seem to help somewhat but the irritation always returns whenever she stops them. Lately, the condition is getting worse and nothing seems to help.

Low Testosterone Level

A routine hormone panel showed that Mrs B had low hormone levels, and her testosterone level was especially low. I explained to Mrs B that her dry eye syndrome was caused by low testosterone levels, and testosterone would help.

Cured With Testosterone, Surely You Must Be Joking, Doctor

Six week later, after starting her testosterone as sublingual drops, Mrs B reported her eyes were much better. She also started a complete bioidentical hormone program. Mrs B's ophthalmologist, Dr H, was an old friend of mine and we would occasionally attend the same social functions. At one of these social functions, Dr H approached to say that a patient (no name) reported that I had cured her dry eyes with testosterone, and surely you must be joking, Doctor. His gesture and facial expression with his eyes rolling back were quite distinctive.
Min plan nå er å ta med forskning til legen min og se om jeg kan få en resept på testosteron øyedråper. Restasis hjelper ikke like bra lengre som det gjorde i starten
