I had another thought based on my past experience. This is JUST a theory!

Theory: You have Sjogrens. This taxes all systems! Then when you get any sort of infection (even a cold) your body, which is already in overdrive, goes a bit bonkers causing the pain for a week.

This has happened to me as well. If it passes it might be a flare but caused by an external bacteria or virus. It just feels different and worse than it used to.

I also have many symptoms of Sjogrens (dry mouth, fatigue, joint and muscle aches). However, I tested negative in the past. They found me positive for scleroderma. I think multiple conditions may occur in the same person.

If you do not mind sharing, how did your Sjogrens start? For how long did you have it? What kind of treatments worked for you?

Thank you
