Swollen Parotid, infected salivary gland......need I scream Sjogren's??!! Chipmunk cheeks and pain pain pain. I'm yelling here!!! Did they ever do a lip biopsy on you Cyclops? Seems like I do remember one. What was the verdict? You know I'm sero negative. Still sero negative after 4 years. And it's a progressive disease. My neuropathy has gone from uncomfortable and painful to out the roof. I'm probably due an uptick in the Lyrica but can't, it made me so sick when we tried to raise the dose.

I'm wishing and hoping your son will soon get better.
