@issy58 Yes, I have Sjogrens. I was diagnosed a few years ago. My results were positive but I have seen a lot of people whose antibodies came back negative but who still have Sjo. You can get a lip biopsy done.

I do drink a lot of water mixed with coconut water or an electrolyte. That helps but it is VERY easy to move into dehydration so be very mindful every single day. Also try to sip water through the night so you don't wake up already depleted.

Also, check out Sjogrens Foundation. There are a lot of resources on their website. You will learn it is much more the Sicca (which is dryness).

Feel free to reach out. I am happy to share my experiences.
Dana

@danarosef thank you, I would love to sip water at night but I use mouth tape to keep from snoring,
