Default questions about Sjogrens

I was at my opthamologist the other day for a FU as he has been treating me for chronic dry eyes. I'm now on Restasis and this regimen is keeping the chronic blepharitis at bay, finally. He recommended that I be worked up for SS due to this and my complaints of dry mouth, which my peridontist found a change in my readings this year, indicating that this is becoming more of a problem. I have had bloodwork done for SS and that has come back normal, but the Opth. Dr. said that 30-40% of people with SS don't show up positive on the blood tests and still have it. This could also explain some of my other nerve problems aside from PN. Does anyone know which doctor I should bounce all of this off on as the Opth. Dr. indicated that he feels a lip biopsy should be done. I have my GP, neuro, or a rheumatologist to choose from, or perhaps I should consult all three, I don't know. If anyone has any thoughts about this, I'm all ears and would appreciate any guidance/info you can share.
