Hi all, I am new to this fourm. Am not sure where exactly to ask my question, so I'll start here. Does anyone have sjogren's? I am newly diagnosed with UCTD or undifferentiated connective-tissue disease and I take plaquenil. What my question is, My blood tests come back as I'm dehydrated, but I drink 4-5 (24 ounce bottles) of water a day. Have cut out caffeine. I feel I eat "clean" too. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks, Krazy-girl

Yes I have Sjögren’s as my primary disease and my blood test results usually point to me being dehydrated too although I drink a lot. I’ve asked this before here and elsewhere but not got very far with it but I think it’s the concentration of IgG causing high proteins. I always have have elevated total protein, creatinine and RBCs plus high PV and raised CRP. I did ask a Sjögren’s expert who explained it’s to do with concentration of immunoglobulins / antibodies that is unique to Sjögren’s. It’s what causes our severe fatigue.
