Nothing yet!
Brain MRI was normal. I guess that would rule out MS. Lower lumbar MRI has some bulging disks but no nerve entrapment. That is good. Blood tests that the rheumalologist ran all normal except repeat ANA and Sjogren's came back pos and with the same value of 8 for Sjogren's. I won't know what his next move is until Monday. He really seems to think I should have the dry eyes and mouth if I truly have Sjogren's. Didn't someone else tell me that they had an atypical Sjogren's in which they did not suffer with the dryness?

Good luck with all of that, did you ever order the Sjogren\'s Handbook? I sure hope you get some answers soon, it is so much easier when you know what is wrong!

My main complaint is the fatigue and joint pain. The eye and mouth dryness is minor enough that I didn\'t realize I had any problem. Thought it was normal to have crusties in the eyes in the morning and to wake up with a dry mouth. During the day it isn\'t enough to really notice or complain about. My Rheumy did not feel this was an issue with my dx of SjS.
Hugs!
