Hi JohnnyZenith

Welcome to NeuroTalk .

Sicca is a common clinical sign of Sjögren Syndrome, which is an autoimmune disease.

The other signs that you have described may be peripheral neuropathy, which can occur in Sjögren Syndrome.

The information in these two links may help you with this.

Sjogren Syndrome: Practice Essentials, Etiology, Epidemiology

Neurologic Complications : Johns Hopkins Sjogrens Center

All the best.

Honestly I think it's time to give up.

Here's a list of alternatives to THINK ABOUT and Take ACTION too. I don't have your challenge but I work almost 100% with alternatives for my aging and damaged body, I'm 81 and have seen enough...but am doing well ENOUGH.

Reading this list, I realized I don't BLINK a lot, do you?

Alternative Treatments for Sjogren's Syndrome - RightDiagnosis.com

Grape Seed Extract has been my powerful antoixidant for going on 25 yrs and it's kept my eyes in good health. No eye issues, no cataracts etc...

Even starting with Grape Seed Extract COULD help your issue...it's said to be 20X's more powerful than Vit C...Do you take Vit C, it's on the attached list.

OP: I see Potassium is on this long list, and here in the U.S. the RDA for adults is 4700mg of potassium, either from foods or suppliments, I use both but slip and find my potassium levels falling. So many don't realize the importance of our nutrients.

There is so much on the list that COULD help you,

That website doesn't work for me in my area. I have been told I don't have Sjogrens but have no idea if they're wrong.

Would it help if you outlined the clinical evidence which led to this conclusion?

Yes, the fact that all my symptoms match Sjogrens and SFN. It at least matches SFN. I always highlighted it all above really. The burning across whole back and worse at the top is terrible. The prickling terrible pain has spread across my whole body. It is constant.
