here is a web site to go to find information on SS. I hope it helps you. Everyone is different and have different symptoms with Sjogrens. Sjogren's can go into the central nervous system and cause pain that can't be explained otherwise. In Kansas Sjogren's Syndrome is considered a disability, but it all depends on what you are able to do functionally and like me you may have to do things in small increments like 15 mins then rest and go back and do more for 15 mins etc. It helps. Also drink water. There is medication you can take for the dryness in your eyes and vaginal problems. Go to a rheumatologist for your eye dryness and then to a good Gyno for your vaginal dryness. You can use natural eye drops for eye dryness and you need to take extra care with your eyes because SS does attack the eyes. Use sunglasses that keep the wind/dust/dirt from blowing into your eyes and rest your eyes as much as possible. My doc says not to take anything for allergies that will dry you up worse! or medications for that matter. SS dries up the mucus membranes and certain organs in the body, it's not like the normal fluid you intake daily, but you don't mention any problems swallowing, if you do drink a lot with meals and sip on water throughout the day. You definately want to keep your kidneys functioning so do not take any medications that cause them to overwork and drink water.
