Hi! My name is Amber, I was just wondering if anyone here has heard

of Sjogerns Syndrome. Here's my story. My 8 year old son has

complained of back pain for about two years. The doctor did several

blood tests. and on the last one sent us to a rheumatolgist. The

rhuemy said he has Sjogern's Syndrome. The doc asked if he had dry

mouth or eyes. I said no, so he popped open my son's eye and said yes

he does. Well, I had to take him to the eye doctor before he could

start his meds of Plaquenil. Something I didn't want him to take

after reading the website about it. (Relativly small doses are fatal

to children) Well, the eye doctor asked how long my son's eyes have

been dried, I said there not. And I went through the whole spill.

Well, he did the dye test and my son did not have one single dry spot

in his eye. Just allergies. I also know that it mostly affects women

in there 40-50's. So, I'm thinking about starting all over and going

to different doctors. I mean all I've heard and read about Sjogerns

is dry mouth and eyes. He has none of it. Just a small pain in his

lower back. Can anyone tell me anything. Thank-you so much.
