Hello all!

Some positive news, I met with a rheumatologist who specialises in Sjorens. Her first words were you can't discount Sjogrens based on the blood test alone (music to my ears). She carried out a schirmer test, which showed I was below normal in both, one much more than the other. She also did the saliva test which showed I was under.

I have been booked in for an ultra sound on my glands in two weeks and then we go from there.

@Hopeful, I raised the concern of the small fibre neuropathy with both neurologists but they said I did not show burning pain so it was unlikely. I know there are def some neurological things going but my hope is if I get the sjogrens diagnosis the neurologists won't just palm me off as a depressed young girl. (When I say young I am 30, but in these appointments with doctors they make me feel about 12, dumb and 12 to be precise).
