MamaSher to PJ re Sjogren's

[Guest guest]



thanks for the info. I need to call my pcp and get an appt for a follow up visit after UWMC. I sure have those exact problems...dry eyes/mouth and all over body pain. I just take it for granted it's arthritis/fibromyalgia. golly. When is enough enough for us?? Do you think Sjogren's is caused by our ILD??
