Default No Help

Just like Billylyne5, I have almost all the symptoms of Sjogren's and I am miserable.
My primary care doctor sent me to a rheumatologist early this Spring who did $3000+ of blood work. And then he did some more blood work. The tests for Sjogren's was "borderline", so he said he can't treat me for Sjogren's. Is the test for Sjogren's black and white, positive or negative, or should they be considering the whole picture.

By the way, the rheumatologist said there were several other things in my blood work that were "slightly off", but not enough off to do anything about it.

My eye doctor told me just to put in eye drops 6 times a day. That doesn't help at all.

Yes, I had the skin punch test for SFN and I do have Idiopathic SFN. And I have Graves Disease.

I guess what I am really getting at is what is a person to do when he can't get any help or relief? I do not seem to be able to communicate to the doctors how really bad I feel and how debilitating all this is. After years of trying to get help with all this, I have just recently decided to give up and just try the best I can to get through the days.
