Hi Sandisue,

Also wanted to give you a warm welcome to the Sjogren's family!    You'll find many friendly, supportive people here. It's been a huge help to me, since I'm just diagnosed in the last few months myself. It can be a lot to take in and deal with.  So good to have people who really understand.

I'm sorry the lip is so sore, but glad to hear it's feeling better. And, like Pisces24 stated, it's great that it sounds like you have a good doctor who will treat your symptoms so quickly. Too many of us have some "horror stories" about that you don't want to know, I'm sure. Please keep us posted, ok?
So, again, welcome and sending you blessings.

Melinda

Hi Sandisue

Sorry that my 'welcome' is a bit late!  I'm really impressed that you did your own research, and that your rheumy actually listened to you.  It's good that he started you on Plaquenil so soon - many of us here find it really helpful.

I really hope your mouth is healing well and the soreness is easing.  Let us know the news when you get the results on the 20th.

Thinking of you - Chickpea
