Sjogren’s Syndrome – Introduce yourself and meet others

My eyes & lips symptoms are what made my Opthsmologist & Rheum suspect Sjogrens. The lip biopsy confirmed it.
2 QUs:
#1: Does anyone else with this disease have constantly severely chapped lips? & what do you do for it?
#2: For women— does this affect anyone else vaginally?
Thanks

My lips are pretty chapped. I put Vaseline on them nightly.

And yes, I have trouble with vaginal dryness. Always have. Couldn’t wear tampons because of it. I’m 64 now, so she makes it worse.
