i had this gritty feeling in my eyes on-and-off since two months ago. added to that, i constantly feel thirsty, and i had dry and cracked lips. as a result, i kept biting my gums and inner cheeks that resulted in painful mouth ulcers. i asked my doctor friend about it and he said there could be several possible reasons behind it.
firstly, it could be due to a blockage to my tear ducts that contributed to my eye dryness. he said that it was unlikely due my contact lenses. more likely, he said, i could be suffering from an allergic reaction that resulted in the drying up of my lacrimal glands (tear glands). he said that to be really sure, i need to go through some tests...
well... we'll see. whatever the causes, it was weird. my eyes cannot tear consistently these days. sometimes, when i yawn, i tear like crazy, yet during other times, my eyes remain totally dry. they like as though i had just emerged from a long swim without goggles. similarly, i also realized that when i cry these days, my eyes stay very dry. and i cannot really tear. it is almost a case of cry until no tears!
hmmm...
