Estrogen is supposed to help the entire body, we have mucous membranes all over, just not the vagina? Soon after my hyster, and low estrogen, My sinuses and eyes were drier than ever. I started some bio-identical estrogen cream and I noticed right away more fluid in my nose & mouth. but I know I need alot more estrogen in my body. Now, I guess its possible that my Sjogrens is greatly aggravated from the lack of estrogen and getting worse, which explains Lucy's comments when she took Arimidex, which blocks the estrogen, her Sjogren's got profoundly worse? oh yikes. Ive read so many articles, some say estrogen helps with dry eyes, while others say it can cause dry eyes? some have more joint pain on it, while others say it helps...Just pray we can all find the right balance for each of us.
