I have Hashimoto's Disease and also dry eyes and can't clear the back of my throat. Endocrynologist said it sounds like Sjorgren's but I tested negative for it. However, Sjorgren's takes ON AVERAGE 6 1/2 years to diagnose. I understand that there may be a drug you can take to slow down the progression of Sjorgren's but my Rhematologist won't give it to me as I've tested negative. *edit* I've also contacted a Support Group Leader in my area to see if she might have any valuable information. *edit*
