Guest guest Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have Sjogrens antibodies,Hashimoto, and Graves antibodies going at the sametime during flare ups. You can test for Sjogrens with a blood test Anti-SS-A/Anti-SS-B. It is extremely difficult to tell the difference between hashimoto and sjogrens, because the symptoms are very similar. If I can keep my Hashimoto antibodies down, it tends to turn off the antibody attacks of the other two. > >  > >Hi, all > > > >I would like to know how do you get tested for sjogrens.  i went to this eye Dr > >yesterday but i want to get 2 opinion the eye Dr told me that my right eye is > >watering because it is to dry but did not do a strip test to test for sjogrens > >when i told him i have hypo.   and my throat is a little dry. i will be going > >to the lab in the morning to get my thyroid blood work done. then when the test > >comes in i will make a Dr appointment to go over test and i have to tell the Dr > >my symptoms. but would like to know who is the best Dr i can see to test me for > >eye disease, i just like to stay on top of things .

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 PS... There is no family history of Sjogrens in my family, but it is common is folks with hashimoto. With Sjogren's your eye's will feel like sandpaper, skin extremely dry(can crack & bleed), and bones & joints will ache. Those are my first symptoms to show up when sjogren's flares. > >  > >Hi, all > > > >I would like to know how do you get tested for sjogrens.  i went to this eye Dr > >yesterday but i want to get 2 opinion the eye Dr told me that my right eye is > >watering because it is to dry but did not do a strip test to test for sjogrens > >when i told him i have hypo.   and my throat is a little dry. i will be going > >to the lab in the morning to get my thyroid blood work done. then when the test > >comes in i will make a Dr appointment to go over test and i have to tell the Dr > >my symptoms. but would like to know who is the best Dr i can see to test me for > >eye disease, i just like to stay on top of things .

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Do any of you with Hashimoto's have extreme dry mouth?
