Sjogren's Syndrome?

I have systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) as my primary disease - 4 years into diagnosis. Originally, I tested negative for Sjogrens, Lupus, and RA. However, now 14 months post stem cell transplant for scleroderma administered with high dose chemo, radiation, and steroids (at Duke) I have developed peripheral neuropathy, dizziness, off-balance, muscle weakness, and brain fog. Looks like newly acquired multiple neuropathies associated with Sjogrens.

May need to re-test for those conditions that cause neuropathy.
Anyone with scleroderma and Sjogrens, Lupus, or RA?

@altabiznet peripheral neuropathy occurs in about 15-20% of those who have Sjogrens. Also have you research dysautonomia? (I'm sure I am spelling it wrong).
