Sjorgens

Hi is it common for Sjorgens to cause digestive problems? Feels similar to acid reflux, nausea, worse on waking after a night's sleep, very thirsty, after eating I have a generally unsettled stomach.

My G.P thinks I may have Sjorgens. I also have dry eyes, dry skin and slightly swollen at the beginning of ear canal, and fatigue since the other symptoms flared up a few days ago.

I am eating very limited variety of foods in small amounts at the moment, homemade lentil soup, bananas, pears. My appetite is limited any way at the moment.

Due to have my Tocilizimab injection tonight for RA.

Any knowledge of Sjorgens welcome.

Thank you 😊
