Hello @ginger55, welcome to Connect. You will notice that we added a little to your discussion title to help members who have tried low dose naltrexone (LDN) find and share their experience with you. I'm tagging @deborahyost3 and @suetex who have posted in other discussions about using LDN for treating Sjogren's.
While you wait for other members to respond I thought you might find it helpful to scan through the following discussion to learn what others have shared:

Hi. I have Sjogren’s disease but I was started on LDN before the neuroblock was placed for my TN. I suffer from different types of neuropathy with this Sjogren’s disease. The explanation that I was given by my pain/anesthesia specialist is that my nerves are in haywire and it will help the neuroblock to work well.
I do still deal with severe pain daily even with the LDN and methotrexate. I think it’s a combination of my Sjogren’s arthritis, severe osteoarthritis, and my hypermobile joints.
