About Me
I found out that I have Sjogren's syndrome when I became pregnant with our first child. When I was about 22 weeks prego, the doctors found that the baby has complete heart block. He now has a pacemaker. But as for me, all I have currently is a dry mouth. My eyes are good so far. I will probably start medication soon to slow the process down now, then to wait until my symptoms are bad.

Close Sjogren's Syndrome
I have Sjogren's syndrome. we found this out when I was pregnant, my baby had complete heart block. He is now 4 months old with a pacer and doing well! I am relatively symptom free. The rhuemy said I have a dryer mouth than most, will probably start medicine soon while I'm still healthy.
Close Congenital Heart Disease
Type: OtherI am 25 weeks pregnant and found out about 2 weeks ago that my baby has complete a/v block of his heart. (congenital heart block) which means that each side beats at its own pace. This was caused my by lupus disorder which i've never even knew about until we did blood work to find it because of the baby's heart.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
- my baby is still alive and fighting!
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- Still working on my medrol dose pack then im on dexamethasone. The pack has been giving me heartburn, but on the plus side, the prednisone will help build lungs incase he has to be delivered early.
