Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Don't despair, Tess. I would wait until I talked to my rheumatologist before accepting the Sjogren's diagnosis. Many meds can cause dry eyes and dry mouth, too (antidepressants and BP medications, for example). Your rheumatologist will be the best person to decide what's going on. Are you positive for anti-Ro (anti-SSA) or anti-La (anti-SSB)? And maybe if it is truly Sjogren's, it won't necessarily have to be added to your list, maybe the list will be revised. I'm glad you went and that your ophthalmologist was so thorough. I hope you will be feeling better soon.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Hi ...you are right. I am very blessed to have the medical care I have. I haven't had those particular tests that I know of, but will discuss that with Dr. (rheummy) when I see him. Thanks for helping me stay balanced! You are a sweetie. Love & Hugs...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 What led me to LDN was horrible dry eye after a bout with iritis. I don't actually have Sjogrens, but my dry eye cleared up within a week of being on LDN. > > > > In this page you can the experience of two with Sjorgren's > > > > > > > > https://ldndatabase.dabbledb.com/page/other/tbdgPxzK# > > <https://ldndatabase.dabbledb.com/page/other/tbdgPxzK> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
