Hi en bloc,

I will discuss about Sjorgren's with the rheumatologist tomorrow morning...

I have been reading about experiences of those who had lip biopsy and it seems a painful experience, though, you mentioned that your experience was not bad. Who normally perform the lip biopsy, ENT or the rheumatologist? Who has the better understanding of the disease?

I read today on one article that lip biopsy confirms not only Sjorgren's but may also confirm sarcoidosis and amyloid polyneuropathy. How true is this? This has never been mentioned in our forum (or maybe I have not just read it).

Thank you so much, en bloc.
