About 20 yrs ago my eyes, I noticed were always red and then they were itchy. I saw a dr who told me to take some drops. I have done so ever since. About 6 months ago(by the way my red eyes never went away)I started to have severe stickines in both my eyes, i simply couldn't keep my eyes open. I have very good vision. My legs are extremely dry and became scaly. About a year ago I notice when I eat or drink certaion foods I would choke where Iam actually seeking help. A couple of months ago I saw a dr and told him that Iam having a lot of trouble staying a wake, he dismissed me by saying Iam too young. i knew something was wrong, so I requested a sleep test. The results of the test was shocking. I had sleep apnea( an occurance of 25 times in one hr) Iam now 40 yrs old and I have had 4 children. The solution to my problem became very simple for a lot of people by simply saying to me well you have had 4 children. Iam 5' 2 and 118 lbs but stomach simply appears to get larger. Iam very active eg. i walk, bike joj almost three times a week. Another dr told me I have excess fat in my liver but never told me anything else, all my enzymes were up. However, I know now that I was misdiagnosed. I met a new dr who told me almost instantly what was wrong with me without me saying a whole lot to him. He told I was grossly deficent in VB2. I have been working on supplementing myself with foods high in this vitamin also some other B vitamins. iam hoping this works for me because some day I feel as though iam a living dead.

"Guessing" isn't a valuable asset of a doctor. Thanks for sharing.

The Dr. recommended that I take a liquid antacid. I did this off and on for a couple of years. Just a short while ago I would wake up in the middle of the night and would have to take a second dose of antacid to stop the heartburn. I have been seeking medical help for about two years with no success. So, my very first symptom was heartburn. My next symptom was about a year later when my legs started to itch. The itching was very severe and the skin on my legs turned to a mass of bright reddish brown splotches. About the same time my eyes would have the sensation of sandy and dry upon waking in the morning. I couldn't tolrate bright lights. I even had to resort to wearing sunglasses to watch TV. I went to a dermatologist for my legs. I asked him if the eye symptoms could be caused by the same thing attacked my legs, he didn't think so, but he called an Optometrists to get me in as a emergency. The Optometrists just thought I had Dry Syndrome and prescribed Re-stasis. The Dermatological sent a biopsy to the Mayo Clinic, but the result came back "cause was unknown". I didn't think I would ever be able to wear a dress again. But, about six months later, the discoloring began to fade. I woke up one morning had an attack of being very dizzy. I had to have therapy to get the crystals in my inner ear back in place. I noticed I was having trouble swallowing, food would seem to get stuck at the top of my throat. Shortly after that, I started to get nauseated right after eating. My eyes were worse, they were tearing and itching until I couldn't handle it anymore. Out of desperation, I started surfing the net on the computer. From all of the articles that I read, I was misdiagnosed from the very beginning. I should have been taking hydrochloric acit to aid in the digestion. I threw out the antacids and I have been taking hydrochloric acid and also Multiple Enzymes along with the Vitamin B Complex and a Multi Vitamin for about a week. I no longer have trouble swallowing, no nausea after eating. I have no heartburn. My eyes still have some healing to do. They are very itchy and watery. I maybe allergic to the preservatives in the eye drops that I have been using. I sincerely hope that my eyes will clear up after using eye drops with no preservatives.
