Chemo makes you puke, but if you can manage it, you should get out of your house. We recommend that you roll with a padded mailing envelope. They are splash friendly and self-sealing. Look for the pull and seal, moisture resistant kind. $17.98 25 pack (9.5"x 13.5")

Dry eyes really suck. Chemo, meds and other things can cause extreme dryness. I tried vitamins, supplements, different medications, and drops of all kinds, when a doctor at UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute recommended BioTears. He sold it at his office so I was automatically skeptical, but considering the amount I'd spent on drops, it seemed worth it. According to the brochure, BioTears is formulation designed to systemically address the root cause of dry eye syndrome. It's an oral gel capsule (small considering other some vitamins out there) you take twice a day. It's main ingredient is Black Currant oil, considered the most biochemically stable source of important linoleic acids, a type of Omega 6 essential fatty acid. Combined with other elements such as flax seed oil (something I also tried on the advice of another doctor), it converts to an anti-inflammatory agent that helps increase tear production. I used it for about a month before I noticed an improvement in the dryness of my eyes. I have since bought it for my aunt, who has chronic dry eyes. I really think this stuff works. $32.95 plus shipping for 120 Oral Gel Caps
