I thought it might be helpful for the community (and me :) ) to see what everyone has found to be most helpful for them other than the normal prescription meds like (plaquenil, evoxac).

Maybe we could list our top 2 or 3 things instead of the entire list of things that provide "some" relief,

It might be other meds, supplements, gadgets, strategies, etc.

* Neilmed Extra Strength Sinus Rinse - allergies and sinus infections
* Whole Home Humidifier on HVAC - in my opinion, it reduces the number of sicknesses during winter months
* Sinex - when I have cough, bronchial issues this seems to help

My top three nonmedical things are sugar-free chewing gum, Instituto Espanol 10% urea skin cream, and Vaseline for lips at night.
Dry eyes (MGD), nose, mouth, occasional labyrinthitis,  dry skin , mouth ulcers, constant but fluctuating fatigue, IBS.  Blood tests and Schirmers negative,no Sjogrens dx yet.   Omega 3 algal oil, multivitamins, Evolve eye drops, Xailin eye ointment,  moisturiser (Instituto Espanol 10% urea).

I use Aveeno cream, Essential Oils to help all the dryness.  I use heating pads for my pain and last I use waterfall, ocean, rain and thunderstorm sounds to relax my spirit.

Exercise.

It's really hard some days to make myself do it. But I feel much, much better if I get exercise.

If I'm having a flare and things are too bad to do some kind of workout, I at least make the effort to get my dogs out for a walk.
