I'm sure this is frustrating and feeling SOB and having other symptoms make the frustration even more profound.

If you're not happy with this rheumy, I would encourage you to set up the appt with another...even if it means waiting 2-3 months. Do it now. You can always cancel it down the road if you feel better, get answers from another doctor, etc.
Do u think that infiltration will show even with moderate dry mouth? Sometimes I have saliva and sometimes there is dryness but not as bad as others would describe it.

I was referred to an ENT for the biopsy.
