Title: An article for uninformed Doctors.
Post by: Epson on February 16, 2010, 03:32:17 PM
It drives my crazy when I hear that someone's rheumatologist says Sjogren's is just dry eye and dry mouth.  Give the numskulls this article. /www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17192555.  There are a hundred more articles on line about this.  Just doing some research on my newest problem.

I never know what doctor to see when all of these problems seem to intermingle with so many different body organs, urologist, rheumatologist, nephrologist, endocrinologist or all of the above ???

So true.   My Sjogrens doesn't really cause me dry eyes and mouth very much.
