I do have dry mouth, dry eyes, etc and the blood markers for Sjogren's: SSB antibodies as well as RNP. I also had a positive ANA some time ago.

The doc's response to that was that a lot of people have these markers... Don't know if that is right or not...

Sometimes I wish I could just have a little country doctor who would just keep things simple...

Onto the pain clinic... The doctor there wanted me to go through a multi-specialty clinic, including psych and a bunch of other disciplines. I said thank you very much, but no thank you. I said I could function a lot better if I could just get pain under better control. She wants me to try baby doses of Lyrica, like 25mg... Okie dokey. I am willing to give that a shot.

My dance card is filled up with doctors' appointments once again...

Trying to look on the light side,
