How do you deal with dry eyes?

Hello, just got on this sight and saw your post from 2019. I have all the symptoms of Sjogrens but years ago I went to a specialist who did blood work and said I didn't have it. I have extremely dry eyes, have had plugs in my tear ducts for 20 years and still dry! Always thirsty and my sodium levels are always low, I think from too much water. Thirst wakes me up at night and drink 32 oz of water overnight. I have interstitial cystitis, had severe reflux and have had surgery for that and many more issues that I think are all tied in. If I'm really careful with my diet I do better but my question is how did you get diagnosed?

I have the symptoms of Sjogren but have never been diagnosed. Instead, I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS purely based on symptoms. It is very frustrating, because anything I test for comes out negative. I just learned that there are blood test for Sjorgen, so I intend to inquire about those.
