Yes you are correct. I am 82 and am still looking for a doctor who can help. Perhaps this is because there is a small percentage of people who have this disease. So to spend money on research for this disease will not bring in adequate money to compensate for their efforts. ???

@peach414144 - I am so sorry that you really don’t get proper medical help. I find it also depends on where you live- if you have access to rheumatologists with wide experience. Sjogren’s is fairly well known, but not enough physicians are not comfortable dealing with it. It is one of the invisible illnesses. My neighbor has it- I wouldn’t have known by looking at her. Don’t give up looking!
