I’m glad you mentioned the cool-mist vaporizer! One of my issues is excess head and chest mucus and yes, I do use one-have for about 10 yr. It helps keep my sinus’ open so I can breathe when I’m in bed. And yes, I do see an ophthalmologist regularly. So far, so good on my eyes. I’m very thankful for that.
I appreciate your time and help.
I know some of it is affected by my age as well. I am 72. I was diagnosed in 2011 but they say I’ve probably had it for many years before that. As a matter of fact, I figured out what was the problem (before the doctor did) from research mostly on Mayo’s website. My doctor said he’d never have thought of it because he’d never had a patient with Sjogren’s but did the blood work and all, and sure enough!
