If your rheumatologist thinks that Sjogren's is a strong possibility, then you should have the lip biopsy.
That's my concern with this rheumy, when I mentioned about the possibility of sjorgrens, she seemed upset by telling me that I should not categorize myself with sjorgrens as all my tests are negative. She said that there are only very minimal numbers of patients who are sero-negative. I am afraid she is one of those doctors who go by the bloodwork numbers and not the symptoms.
Thank you.
