Wondering about Sjogren's :(

[Guest guest]

Wondering... is there any hope at all that my Sjogren's will get better? Most

days, like today... I feel like it's only getting worse.

> Sorry you got diagnosed with another condition. I saw someone else answered

your question about why is it mostly women who get Sjogren's. I agree with

their answer.

for two different antibody factors, biopsies of the parotid (major salivary)

glands and of the minor salivary glands that are scattered through-out your

cheeks and lips. The biopsies can show these two antibodies factors. and 3) an

eye test that shows diminished tear flow to the eyes.
