Hello Slross, sorry I missed your post earlier, but (better late than never) welcome to Sjogren's World.
JannaLee, the list I was given of things to watch for said to call the doctor if you have had any symptoms for longer than 2 weeks, and they are new or sudden onset,such as:
Painless swelling in the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, or groin.
Unexplained fever.
Drenching night sweats.
Extreme fatigue.
Unexplained weight loss in the past 6 months.
Itchy skin.
Of course all of these symptoms can be present in SjS or a number of other autoimmune diseases, that's why my doctor included the bit about "new or sudden", because if not, I'd probably be there once a month!
I was originally diagnosed with non-Hogkins Lymphoma nearly 30 years ago (by mistake), and have been assessed several times since, always with negative results (which is actually a positive outcome). I've been assured that the actual increase of incidence isn't nearly as bad as the numbers make it look, because of the comparative base numbers of SjS population vs world population.
