Hi Patrick,
Going to your eye doctor would be a good idea. It may be something as simple as a blocked tear duct. If so, it'll get treated and that should be the end of it.
However, our dumb disease attacks in very sneaky ways. A question for you: How is your nose doing? Persistent sinus congestion? Nasal crusting (boogers) with or without blood? Nosebleeds? Any of those could be a symptom that the disease is attacking on a new front.
One thing I've learned about this disease is to be a bit paranoid about new symptoms. I keep a health journal and note when new phenomena occur. If they go away and stay away, I tend to disregard. If they go away and come back, I call my rheumy (who manages my disease treatment). If they persist, I definitely call the doc. In many cases, it's nothing, but sometimes...
Good luck and better health!!
Pete
