Sjogrens and Lung issues

Posted by dunbun13 @dunbun13, Dec 3, 2024

I have Sjogrens and I am having lung problems. Getting a CT scan tomorrow, I have questions about ILD… anyone here with Sjogrens and ILD?

I started using Miebo for a month.
Getting the drops into my eye is rather tricky. I find that it evaporates very fast. I asked my eye dr to send the prescription to Blinkrx, so far I didn’t have to pay for the 2 Miebo prescription

I have Sjogren's and ILD. I have had Sjogren's for many years but I was diagnosed with ILD about 3 years ago. I am very fortunate in that it has remained stable.

Your experience is very much like mine. I believe I have had Sjogren's for over 40 years. I was erroneously diagnosed with Lupus after my son was diagnosed in utero with complete atrial ventricular block. That diagnosis was changed about 9 years ago. I was diagnosed with LIP about 3 years ago. I am very fortunate that it is stable. I am glad you are in remission.

I had lip biopsy Jan 2024 and as of March 2025, I have most of the feeling back. I doubt if it will all return. Mine was done by an ENT surgeon specialist.

I am not familiar with Autologous plasma eye drops. Can you elaborate more on what this is and how it works to moisturize your eye please?

….”Autologous PRP eye drops are created by concentrating a patient's own platelets and separating them from other blood components. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, and then processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP. “. I have blood drawn at a compounding pharmacy.
