Hi Lori,

Mine was 113 before I started treatment.  Since starting meds it ranges between 20 and 50.

They didn't give me a number just said it was positive but mind you it's taken many years before it came back positive....was negative for many years x

I take 200mg of plaquenil twice a day for the Sjogren's.  The rest of my medications primarily treat the kidney problems I have (Cellcept, prednisone are the big guns), but I know other people who have Sjogren's take these as well.  I'm really not sure which medications have helped with which symptoms because I started taking them all around the same time.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
