@slkanowitz - Hello. Thank you for this information. All the tests you mentioned above except the skeletal muscle enzymes and EBV to include EA have been completed and normal/negative. I will have my internist draw those. Will not bother mentioning to Rheumatologist since was matter of fact that he does not know why I am having what he states are atypical symptoms after ruling out sjogrens, lupus and CTD. He did start me on pilocarpine which I am taking twice daily now and will max at 3 times a day. A small amount of sputum is being produced only. My gums are receding from my dry mouth. I carry around with me all the dry mouth products and use lozenges. Since I have associated TMJ pain xylitol gum is a no for now. I will gather enough strength to advocate for myself again. Just an exhausting couple of months and trying to regroup with a new starting point. I am just so frustrated. Thank you again for the information. Will write in my log for future follow up testing.
