It’s been over three years since I had Covid and started this chaotic journey, and about 2 1/2 years since I came to this forum seeking help. I thought a couple times I was on my way to wellness but it didn’t happen, in fact it’s progressed. From the initial glob of phlegm in my throat I’ve continued to struggle and realized it’s all connected and all started after Covid: from sinuses, tinnitus, the gagging phlegm in my throat, asthma, allergies, GI problems as well as fatigue and dental problems from the extreme dryness. I may finally have some answers and a diagnosis. My primary’s leaning toward Sjogren’s Syndrome, or Disease, based on recent labs although Rheumatology will have to make the final diagnosis. The labs were ANA+ Titer 1:320; ssa 5.5. This is the second ANA+ result I’ve had, the first being immediately following the Covid infection; Rheumatology dismissed it as a fluke from the virus; but the first time the inflammatory marker, ssa, showed up ( range is 0-0.9). Three years of misery as a result.
