I have Mixed Connective tissue disease with overlap of Scleroderma. I have had plugs for over ten years. They help, but my eyes And mouth get drier as I get older. I’m also take meds for This and they make the dryness worse as well.

I have the same. Takes daily maintenance. For dry mouth: brush 2X daily for gums and teeth; waterpik once a day; xylimelts or biotene.
Dry eyes: gently scrub eye lids in the morning; systane liquid tears; PM ointment at night; RX for pataday. I am finding that an eye mask at night helps keep moisture in.

What test was for the Scleroderma? What are your symptoms?
