Hi -
A couple of questions.
1. What tests did you have to diagnose Sjogren's?
2. Is the dryness confined only to your mouth, or do you have dry eyes and/or dry skin?
Reason I ask is because I have primary Sjogren's with the dry eyes , dry mouth - neither of them are severe - and very dry skin. The dryness is referred to as sicca syndrome because in Sjogren's the body's moisture glands can be affected to a lesser or greater degree.
Dry mouth can cause tongue problems for sure. But sometimes the dryness continues further down the digestive tract.
