@eileenb1022 I’m really glad you will be able to see a rheumatologist and get your questions answered. I included Mayo Clinic’s information on Sjogrens . It should help you develop some good questions. You want to focus on what is going on with you right now: dry eyes and mouth and body pain. Have a notebook with your questions and write all the answers. Even now, 6 years after I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, I still write down everything the doctors say.

Do you have a spouse or friend who can with you as an extra set of ears?
