I am not sure if I have Sjogren's Syndrome any feedback on my health issues would be appreciated. I started having health issues in the end of August. I had a cough and it changed to dry mouth. I have had dry mouth ever since. In addition to my dry mouth I have been throwing up on and off for about a month. I am a 26 year old female. I believe I have been throwing up because of this dry mouth I have. I have hardly any saliva and talking is sometimes hard because my mouth is so dry. I have been to a rheumatologist, ent doctor, gi doctor, and pulmonologist. I was tested for Sjogren's syndrome by having blood tests but the blood tests came back negative. I even had a lip biopsy for Sjogren's that also came back negative. I had an endoscopy and barium swallow test. That came back that I had acid reflex disease. I have taken acid reflex medicine but the dry mouth still remains. I have had an abdomen catskan done, chest catskan, and neck catskan everything negative. I have been frustrated because I don't know if it could still be Sjogren's. I have the dry mouth and dry cough. Is there any other test that I should be tested for Sjogren's since I had the blood tests and lip biopsy? This has been going on for two months it is frustrating. Can this be something else other than Sjogren’s Syndrome? Thanks. |
