I am so sorry. Yes the pain everywhere from the dryness is incredible. I am not able to take any of these meds so I’m handling it all the best I can. This newer dry horrible tasting mouth and throat are making things worse I was coping with the dryness as best as I could and swallowing issues but having to Cope with awful constant taste and burnout mouth is so much to handle for me . I have two coming up appointments to see if they can find the reason. Over the years I have dealt with migraines for years that miraculously disappeared in my sixties, IBS hysterectomy, bladder surgery, Ostomy surgery as positive as possible but now with this scleroderma and sjogrens in old age I think this is the worst. I appreciate being a part of this group where we can vent and discuss our issues. I feel after reading some of your awful issues and fears I know I am not alone in this struggle. Thank you! And I appreciate all of you! Trying so hard to fight all these difficulties and live as positivity as possible! Please forgive my errors and poor typing with my swollen hands. I wanted to say I thank you!
