Good morning @jeanniene and welcome to Mayo Connect. We’re a group of patients, patient’s families and caregivers. We try to help each other with information, resources, and tips from our own experiences. I found this discussion that has already been started.

Is this your first flare of sjogrens? What has your doctor suggested for treatment?

Hello @jeanniene. I have “extraglandular” Sjogren’s which erupted dramatically a few months after my liver transplant (which resulted from another autoimmune disease), a year ago. I have peripheral neuropathy in all extremities (numbness, tingling, and pain), tremors, and muscle and joint pain. Plus, oral thrush, sore throat, eye issues.

Sjogren’s Advocate is a good website to learn more about the systemic nature of Sjogren’s that often medical providers know little about.
