You should look for a Rheumatologist, they specialize in many diseases/syndromes one of which is Sjogrens. Good luck I hope you find one that works well with you!

There are a handful of us that travel to San Francisco including myself to Dr. Nancy Carteron.   She wrote the Sjogrens book called "Body out of Balance".   I travel about 2 and a half hours to get there as its worth it to see someone that truly understands Sjogrens.
