Good morning, @eileenb1022. As with any new diagnosis, you have a lot of questions. Well you've come to the right place. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion:
- Sjogren’s Syndrome – Introduce yourself and meet others https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/sjogrens/
I recommend reading through the discussion from the beginning. Some great advice and you'll meet many members who also have experience with Sjogren's syndrome like @cantek @cmtg @jip499 @ninette @becsbuddy @lilymol @robertjgoldenjr @adlttl123 @dancing1 @oregongirl @jmb73 @rarelybees2889 @marye2 to name a few. Like you, many of them also have multiple autoimmune conditions.
Your questions about seeing a rheumatologist vs your PCP might be answered in this related discussion:

Eileen, have you requested to be added to a cancellation list to be seen sooner?

Hi and thank you for you help. I will go to the links. I have asked to be put on the cancellation list. Also new pcp is in same city just different hospital I know this hospital has rheumatologist too so maybe when I see new pcp in two weeks I can ask. As far as this other rheumatologist I was a little frustrated. I had to call them 10 days after the referral was sent. Then I had to call three times last week noone was calling me back. They knew why I was being referred and still said Feb 15. That was disappointing
So hoping new pcp can refer me to someone else who can see me earlier. I mean these symptoms have been going on for months every dr got it wrong except for the sinus dr in Boston and symptoms are worsening. Thank you for your help
