Hi McKorky,

First let me welcome you to the forum, since I've not done that, so "Welcome!" 

I'm glad to hear you have a diagnosis; it really makes us feel validated in what we already know.  Sounds like you have a good doc to talk over things with.  That is so important to us all.

And best luck to you in school.  As a Buckeye myself, I think Ohio has some of the best medical schools in the country. I know you will prove them wrong.  You'll do great and I can see you becoming one of those wonderful doctors who understand their patients because you've been there!

I look forward to hearing more from you-please keep updating us.  Again, welcome.  We're glad to have you as part of our little troup who encourage and support one another through it all.

  Well don't let those people get you down! I ,for one, am pulling for you. I look forward to following your progress and will be proud when you graduate. I will tell you like I tell my children, there is nothing you cannot accomplish when you put your mind and determination behind it. Now go get what you want girl!CK

I agree with Melinda and CK, you show them what you are about. And it would be wonderful if you could become a Sjogren's specialist - in fact, maybe we should have a whipround to fund your studies

Glad you got a diagnosis.   I have always said if I know about it, I can deal with it.  It's the unknown that is always scary. 

Remember, everyone is always here for support when you need it.  Hang it there!!
