Hello Ingy and Emily  :)

Welcome to Sjogren's world.

I've taken Plaquenil for 7 years now with no ill effects and I do believe it has helped. All medicines can have side effects but not everyone sufferes from them. If you know what they are - you know what to look out for.

Take care - Scottie  :)

Hi new people, I have been here 6 years and I am more confused than ever, sorry to say!!!!

I had the sjogrens way, way back when I was 20 years old and am now 68 years old. I was dry for years and didn't know it. I just thought my thyroid medication made me thirsty. I had a ton of dental work and many teeth pulled and in the process of getting my last 16 teeth pulled when I got diagnosed with Sjogrens in 2003.

Someone said we get used to is. Right on! If it comes on gradually you adapt methods of dealing with the dryness and don't even realize what is going on.

I never had dry eyes until after I was diagnosed in 2003. Dry eyes was the last thing to hit me symptom wise. I started the Restasis within the next 8 months or so and have been using it ever since. It has helped me big time. irish ;D
