Anti-SS-B comes in at 2.3. Derm rings the Sjogren's bell. Rheum says not convinced yet that it is Sjogren's and not some other Autoimmune disorder. Rheum does tell me I have dry eyes. Waiting on further blood test results. Trying to write out symptom list... The number of variables is unreal:
1) Dry eyes: Sjogren's or forced air heating and winter? (Then again, was waking up with gunky eyes even in the summer with no a/c on).
2) Extreme Fatigue: Is it Sjogren's or is it the fact that I am, for some inexplicable reason, now unable to sleep and am waking up at 3:30 am. I mean, is it Sjogren's or is it stimulant therapy for adult onset ADHD? The again, I fall asleep with no issues.
3) Joint Pain: Is it Sjogren's or is it over-training (I WAS doing 1,100 push-ups a day... now, none)?
4) Dry skin: S or winter?
5) Foggy brain/Memory issues: Sjogren's or ADHD?
6) Pain in hands... swollen knuckles: Well this one is new.
7) Raynaud's" Sjogren's or the side effect of Adderall?

Night Sweats: S or something else?
9) Difficulty Swallowing: Intermittent... Adderall or Sjogren's?
10) Vascular Changes: Sjogren's or is it that I dropped down to 15% body fat?
11) Weight Loss: Sjogren's or is it the Adderall (then again, I have been eating about 3,300 calories a day).
12) Numbness in Feet: Is it S or is it a neuroma?
I wish there were a definitive test. I beelive that I am going to get an initial diagnosis for "Sjogren's like Symptoms" or, "Mixed Connective Joint Disease" or, something else autoimmune.
ARGH!!!!! ARGH!!!!! ARGH!!!!!
