I have the same problems. I take Plaquenil and Systane eye drops. At first I was treated for lupus and Sjorgens.
Now the diagnosis is connective tissue disorder and Fibromyalgia.
Symptoms vary. Deal with extreme fatigue.

Thank you for your information, I really don’t know much about these diseases. I’ve been having pain on the bottom of my heel, my daughter is a PT and gave me exercises to do for that. She said plantar fasciitis but I haven’t seen a doctors about it.

Hi, can I ask how you were diagnosed. I’ve been positive ANA since 2017 and tests related to connective tissue and Sjogrens. I have severe dry mouth, eyes. I get tubes in my eyes every six months and I have prescription toothpaste because my teeth are getting terrible and I don’t eat sugar. My levels are slightly elevated but I don’t want to be assigned a diagnosis just because the two tests are slightly elevated. I think it’s more going on. I’m severely allergic to most meds and just about anything I put on my face. My cheeks look like blush but not a butterfly shape at all. My skin extremely sensitive. I have Raynauds and gastroparesis. I don’t want them diagnosing just because of slight elevations. Has to be more definitive testing.
