If your rheumatologist is already treating you for RA or PsA, you may have Secondary Sjogren's Syndrome. Many of us have this, and it is a milder form of the Sjogren's Disease which can affect the joints and internal organs. The secondary syndrome seems to be limited to the dry eyes and mouth.
I have this, and use Biotene mouthwash and mouth gel. Also my ophthalmologist has me on ketorolac drops for chronic blepharitis and allergies. Until I started these drops I had two bouts of uveitis which is part of the RA secondary diseases. Not pleasant having burning painful red eyes.  Hope you get the answers you need. |
