Hi, All,

I was tested for Sjogren's by one of my PCP's by bloodwork and she was surprised it came up negative. I have extremely dry eyes that I have an appointment for in a couple weeks to determine other options besides Xiidra, warm eye mask 4x daily, and lots of preservative free eye-drops, and night gel at night. I also have extremely dry mouth (with oral LP as well.) My question is, is there value in asking for a lip biopsy to definitively rule out Sjogren's? Is there special treatment if it is? I currently take Plaquenil for my LP from head to toe.

Thanks everyone.
