Possible sjogrens

Hello.

I'm new to this page.

I have autoimmune liver disease, PBC, AMA positive.

My rheumatologist feels I may have sjogren's. I have dry eyes and mouth, sore ears, sore jaw and swollen glands under my jaw, painful joints in hands , feet, ankle and wrist, muscles aches and weakness/numbness in lower limbs.

Also debilitating fatigue, which I know is part of my PBC.

I'm serum negative for sjogren's, I had a wedge lip biopsy 3 weeks ago. My ENT dr. phoned and left a message that it has shown atrophy of salivary glands and insignificant inflammation. He sent the results to rheumatologist and I'm waiting to hear what that means.

I'm on plaquenil and a months corse of steroids at present and feel a bit better.

Do any of you know if the biopsy result is sjogren's.

Thank you
