can i ask my sinus dr was the one who sjorgen's and referred me to a rheumotologist. problem is the rheumotologist cant see me until feb unless a cancellation comes up. which makesme a little nervous. originally when my sinus dr referred me he suspected it do to my dry mouth, i had hoped he was wrong andmy dry mouth was somehow relate to my re-ammurgence of allergies(i'm being re-allergy tested tday) but then i went back to my eye dr to check for dry eye as my eyes were still bothering me even after using my allergy drops. he said ihad dry eye. and gave me some dry eye drops to use three times a day. i dont think its as bad a some though i can still make tears and the dry eye drops do help. so until i can see the rheumotologist i stay hydrated like my sinus dr said i also gargle with biotene and salt water. just wondering your thoughts? also tested neg for 5 sjorgens antibody bloodwork. also seeing nathurpath dr next week

I saw your note and wanted to reply. If you haven’t accessed: smartpatients.com
I encourage you to do so as there is a huge Sjogren’s group with lots of helpful hints and ways to deal with the many symptoms of Sjogren’s. Lots of people have faced a long road to diagnosis so don’t give up!

I hope it’s not Sjogren’s but if it is, there are many of us who support each other here at this site.
