/a - Question regarding Sjogren's vs. RA

[Guest guest]

Does sjogrens affect both sides as well as ra and/or is sjogrens

related to tendonitis at all? If you have joint pain with sjogrens -

does it usually involve more than one joint? If someone doesn't really

have too much difficulty with Dry eyes, mouth, etc...will they still

have arthritis in more than one joint? I'm trying to get as much info

as possible to be more precise on my description to the rheumy. I

finally get to go see one! A specialist of rheumatology and

immunology!!! I still haven't had a pcr yet. I asked the doc the

other day about my numerous exposures to EBV, still nothing. I tested

negative for TB! My son had reoccuring mono 3 times with spleen

involvement, I was exposed to 3 other people when I was younger.

Also, I had mycoplasma bronchitis 3 times years ago. Which raises

another question... Is mycoplasma bronchitis the same mycoplasma

associated with RA? My uncle has ongoing shingles..Is that part of the

EBV family? I know these are alot of questions. The information,

etc... that you have helped me with has been so supportive and

helpful, I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to you

all!!!!!! Thanks. Kim

He does not know this. I'll make the " boy " find out about it.
