Hi, I'm new here and grateful for the opportunity to connect with other's like you that are suffering with Sjogren's. Like you, I too started having symptoms immediately after getting my gallbladder removed. By the second day post surgery I sounded like a box of rice crispies when I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. I thought it was just dehydration from sleeping so much and therefore not drinking enough water. I was wrong. Fast forward to present, my diagnosis via ANA- Anti Nuclear Antibody blood tests is Sjogren's', Hashimoto's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, & EBV-Epstein Barr Virus. I am told that EBV is the main culprit and causing the other three conditions to present with higher inflammation markers. I've been battling all for a year now with little improvement. I see a Immunologist tomorrow for a second opinion and am hopeful that I can get a good Plan of Care that may help to get the Jeannie back in the bottle, so to speak. * I wonder if there's a connection with getting the gallbladder out ??? I wonder if that is a trigger for activation of Auto Immune Disorders ??? Have you been able the get testing and a Plan of Care that's working for you ?
