Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which immune cells attack and destroy the exocrine glands that produce tears and saliva. It also associated with rheumatic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, and it is rheumatoid factor positive in 90 percent of cases.
I also have the moisture kit (1yr) that has pads you can wet to and hot packs that heat up to release the oil in the lids. I use these when I nap. I kept getting scratched cornea in one eye this has stopped that in its tracks. You must clean your eye lids and then use the hot packs for 30 minutes or so.....
I also have the clear goggles for night time sleeping. I actually found this stuff to be very reasonably priced.
I use genteal gel -severe- under my lids twice a day and drops the rest of the time.Night time I use genteal night time gel its like putting grease under your lids. Found these to work best for longer relief at night. W/goggles they last almost all night long. Some night they do last all night.
Humidifier is critical ......goggles are perfect for forced hot air furnaces ...
