I think it would be pretty unusual to have sjogrens without dry eyes. Sjogrens pretty much causes all the mucus membranes to dry up. Mouth breathing can definitely dry the mouth (I know, I am one, along with the sjogrens), as can many medications used to treat PN.
I have very dry lips, but the main problem there for me is my nerve damage to my tounge means that I can't lick my lips which is very annoying. I never noticed how often I licked my lips to moisten then until I was no longer able to do it.
