I had the same experience with the early Sjogren’s test showing positive, but other tests were negative. My Rheumatologist began treatment with Plaquenil. It helped a lot and relieved many symptoms. They have since added immunoglobulin Infusions monthly and I continue to improve.
I already had a lot of damage throughout my body, but the other standard tests were inconclusive. One of my organs was starting to fail and it has stabilized.
I hope they can find a treatment that will help you and slow or stop any further damage. Best of luck to you.

As a fellow Sjogren's traveler I too have been put on IvIg and watch the news for new drugs. Have you tried Retuximab? It didn't effect me (good or bad) but it looks like it should. Just wondering if you have had any experience with it.
