Sjogrens Syndrome and sinus drainage

I haven’t been diagnosed with Sjogren’s, but a positive SSA indicates it. I do have dry eye. I also have a lot of postnasal drip and trouble swallowing. The area under my jaw is swollen. I was told my G.I. would be the best person to see and have an endoscopy done. I couldn’t tolerate CPAP so I had an Inspire device implanted. My specialist said he thinks the swelling under my jaw is scar tissue from the inspire implant. The procedure was surgical and was a lot more complicated than I thought. But now that I have the hang of it and know that the doctors office can program it, it’s a lot easier to deal with. I would suggest, however, asking your doctor a lot of questions if you decide to try Inspire. I’ll be praying for you.
