Another thing i just remembered- I started birth control pills sometime this year due to major skin issues (breakouts on my chin). I was using generic version of Yaz. It was okay in the beginning , but then past couple months the headaches during my period got really bad. This Monday, headache got so bad I actually threw up while at work and had to take the day off (which NEVER ever happens...last time I puked was when my son was a baby and he is now in 3rd grade. I have taken 1 day off maybe for my own illness in the 6 years I have worked here ). I am 100% certain that the birth control pills were to blame, and now looking online it looks like they are often to blame for dry eyes too! My ophthalmologist did mention something about dry eyes being sometimes caused by hormones
I did notice my vision up close recently seemed to be getting worse and I assumed it was old age.
As of past week I am stop taking the pill bc I cannot deal with possibility of needing to take 1 sick day every 4 weeks!! I knew the pill was bad for migraines but thought it wouldn’t be as bad- lesson learned. If acne comes back I guess that will be easier to deal woth that being out of commission one day a month.
