That's really interesting, thank you
I'm now going to Google the dye test. This has never been brought to my attention nor the perception of the schirmers test. Can someone explain why experts in their profession just don't know or tell you of these things. If this was my job I'd want to know everything. I don't get it. On a more forgiving note my rheumatologist did say she had never come across someone with sfn let alone with full body wide presentation like mine.
