Hey there! Thank you so much for your response! Ironically, my provider has now clarified via email that he does *not* recommend a biopsy at this time, which has confused me a little bit, but it looks like I have more labs pending. The original message suggested a minor salivary gland biopsy to definitively diagnose Sjogren's.
I'm going to try to hold on to hope in my provider for just a little while longer - I am not a medical professional, and it could be that these things just seem confusing on my end. (Also, finding providers with availability has been a little tricky.) But I truly appreciate your reassurance - I will absolutely be sure to take action if the feeling that my provider doesn't mesh with me grows!
