Hi. Hope everyone is feeling o.k. I haven't been diagnosed with Sjogrens . I have been told I have RA due to blood test{Ccp Antibodies }, also palmar-plantar psoriasis, Hypothyroid and Raynaud's phenomenon.
Anyways when I went to Dr. I had him look at my throat ,about a month before that I noticed what looked like two cysts one on throat and one one tonsil. He didn't see the cysts but informed me i have thrush. after two weeks on antibiotics it seems worse. Im trying oil pulling , it feels better but still looks gross. NOW I'm thinking maybe Sjogrens ,my eyes do bother me, cloudy filmy ,blinking helps, and i do get ocular migraines , sensitive to bright lights, loud noises even skin touched makes me creapy -crawly.
So what you think.. will be making an eye appointment soon to check for dry eyes.
All replies are greatly appreciated.
Hi GMAjo :)
Have they got your thyroid under control? Are you on the right amount of medication for it? Hypothyroidism can also cause dry eyes, fatigue and joint aches - also brainfog and depression.
Seeing an opthamologist about your eyes would be a good option. They can test the severity of the dryness, prescribe drops and also tell you about useful eyelid cleansing routines.
Take care - Scottie :)
Thanks Scottie its nice to meet you.
My thyroid numbers have been the same for 6 years. I have really never felt "right" .I've read the generic can be inconsistent . My RA is weird too. I have pain ,weakness, icky -blah. But my joints never swell or turn red like i've seen with other people.Someone I worked with said she thought it was Fibromyalgia [she has RA]. MY worst pain is collarbone chest area its only bad when my psoriasis is active .coughing and sneezing feel like my chest is being crushed. I do feel lucky , I have family members who have MS, crohns and other stuff.
Thanks for listening GMAjo
