Yay!  Glad to hear things feel better.

My version of problems with singing -  I was once whistling, and a total stranger turned to me, and in a rather snotty tone said "Who ever gave you whistling lessons should give you a refund"!  Yikes! Not untrue mind you.  The thought of that still makes me laugh.

Thea, so happy to hear that you are starting to feel some relief from the meds. That's wonderful.

Carolina- your take on depression is interesting- it is definitely its own symptom, as is anxiety. My mother is so anxious and depressed, but I'm not quite sure how much of it is directly part of the Sjogren's (fatigue, pain, irritability) and how much is what has developed as a result of the Sjogren's. Do you find that when a flare ends, your depression lifts as well? My mother was switched from Prozac to Zoloft, but neither has helped very much yet. Unfortunately, only Ativan alleviates her anxiety and of course we hope she won't have to keep using it daily as it actually increases the depression.

Wishing better days for everyone.

Thea

Hey, maybe that was my dad! I came from a very musical family. At an early age, my dad made it pretty clear that I should learn to play an instrument because I sure as heck couldn't sing!
