Newly diagnosed with Sjogren's

[Meld256]

Yes, Sissy, there are lots of things that "overlap." Me being rather new to all this, I've done a lot of reading and research, and still have much to learn.

Much of the conditions that overlap can be several different things and then add to the complexity is the fact that some people have certain problems but not others; or the fact that the problems can wax and wane and it becomes VERY complicated.
My kind PCP admitted that sometimes treating patients like me can be frustrating; not that he's frustrated by me, personally, but by the fact that some meds help, others don't, I get better in one regard, then something else pops up! So, if he's frustrated I told him, imagine how I feel.

Hope the posts here help you. And feel welcome to ask anything...many of the "more experienced" here are very glad to help.
Have a good week,
Melinda
