You can have a negative ANA and still have Sjogren’s. Ask your rheumatologist for a lip biopsy. Just on symptoms alone, I would say you have Sjogren’s. Possibly fibromyalgia as well. Look up fibromyalgia trigger spots and try pressing down on them hard to see if you feel any pain. Best wishes!

For reputable info about Sjogren’s disease look up Sjogren’s Advocate. Fibromyalgia is often a subset of Sjogren’s and not a separate entity.
