hi again!
I have Sojgrens also. I can't find anything for dry eyes. Using Blink not too bad but waking in the morning everything is blurry and dry.
Can Sojgren's effect fingers? S.F.N. is effecting my hands and fingers sometimes shake, when doing dishes untensils fall out of my hands, computer keys ETC ETC! do others have the same?Hip surgery destroyed my nerves like a domino effect! Surgeon I had SMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What didn't he bring it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought of it! Neurosurgeon sent me to him! He also should have let me know! My only social life is doctors.

I use Refresh Plus and sometimes Refresh Celluvisc ( but only before bed because it leaves your lashes crusty) I was also recommended EvoTears Omega, just got approved by the FDA, but it’s expensive.
I had a test that showed my eyes aren’t so dry, but they still feel dry!
It‘s not Sjogrens that‘s effecting my fingers, I have arthritis which is a separate issue, somehow the Plaqenil helps with the pain, a great side effect.
I feel for you 🙁

My ophthalmologist put plugs in my eyes and they have really helped. Have your hands been checked for carpal ? I was dropping everything and my fingers were tingling. It was a simple operation and the recuperation was only a few weeks.
good luck.
