You can have Sjogren’s and may not be positive on the blood work. As @helennicola noted there are various tests for Sjogren’s and many systemic symptoms. My Sjogren’s first manifested extraglandular…tremors, peripheral neuropathy in all extremities, and moderate to severe muscle and joint pain.

Hopefully blood labs can rule out what you don’t have. Keep pursuing answers, more labs, tests, and request referrals to different doctors if you’re not satisfied . I’m still searching for a competent rheumatologist who will provide treatment. I do have a good neurologist.

If you’re interested, here’s two excellent websites I’ve found helpful:

Best wishes on finding answers and solutions!

Glad you have a good neurologist, my neurolologist and rheumatologist both leave a lot to be desired! I often get tired of trying to figure things out and have come to all conclusions and self-treatment decisions for the past 3 yrs. Luckily I have managed to keep symptoms from progressing too much. Doctors either have inadequate knowledge of, or the time to treat, you must be willing to do your own research and be your own advocate these days.
