Sorry I was unable to complete my post regarding Sjogren's Syndrome. My new windows 10 laptop keeps doing things that I don't feel in control of. I have seen my doctor and have reduced the omeprazole to 10 mg per day and am having a blood test next week to see if I have any deficiencies. Looking through various post I came across the above syndrome and it rings bells. When I first started taking ppis I had Panoprazole and almost immediately I started having ulcers under my tongue. These were investigated by my the local hospital and I had a scan of my lymph glands which was OK. I also have dry eyes and a dry mouth - symptoms of Sjogrens - I cannot find the post I was looking at before. I have looked into Sjogrens which is an autoimmune disease which doesn't have a cure. Has anyone else had this problem?
