Dearest Sjogren's Angels,

I post this with mixed feelings. On one hand it is a joy to read of success in finding a diagnosis which resulted ln a successful treatment.

On the other hand I am still grieving that there is no successful treatment for me.

The takeaway is Persistence  in self advocacy as a patient is vital.
