Hi everyone. I am new

[Luna]

Hello, my name is Rebecca. I was diagnosed early june. Was dealing with all the symptoms, pain for many years. Doctors could not figure it out. Finally we know what it is. I have been learning what I can sinse I found out. I look forward to future conversations and hope to learn some and hopefully help some.

Hi Rebecca,
I was just diagnosed in Feb. And everyone here has been so helpful and kind to me.

I have had tons of questions and a few moments of panic, and everyone has given me great information and understanding I have not been able to get from friends and family because they cant understand.

So welcome!! And post away!

Hi Rebecca 

Welcome to Sjogren's world! It's unfortunately not unusual to have to wait several years for any kind of diagnoses. It's still a shock when it comes but this site will help!

Take care - Scottie
