Facial Swelling - no diagnosis

did they test for sjogrens? That's what I originally referred to the ENT for was facial swelling. I've been diagnosed since 2015 and have had sever bought of my face swelling. Including now. Now it's because the saliva in my salivary glands are turning into hair gel consistancy and my salivary glads ( i was told) are going kaput.

My ENT did test for sjogrens and it came back negative. My ANA test also came back negative.
Funny that you mention your salivary glands because my dentist thought they might have something to do with it. He referred me to an oral surgeon but I couldn't get in to see him until late January.
The weird thing is that it's an isolated swelling. It's an area maybe 1/2 inch big along my jawline right next to my mouth. It's not really visibly noticeable but you can feel it when you palpitate it.
