Thanks so much! That was a pretty good article!
great article with some nice holistic suggestions!
I'm glad he mentioned that sicca symptoms can be caused by other things than Sjogren's, but Sjogren's itself can cause severe complications - he made it seem like if there's more going on than dry eyes and dry mouth, there is another disease process going on. I don't have RA but I do have severe joint pain and swelling caused by Sjogren's. Fibromyalgia may account for some of my muscular pain, but it doesn't (as far as I know!) cause joint swelling! Of course, some rheumatologists might tell me I have a lupus overlap because of my symptoms, but honestly, I think Sjogren's can be more severe than some in the medical community think.
Thanks Gayle for posting that! Dr Oz mentioned something called Ribos? For energy. Does anyone know what that is?

Riboflavin maybe? It's a type of B vitamin. (B2 I think...?)
When I searched his site for ribos, this is what I got :

RIBOSE, I believe.
