One lady in the charity had this together with her PMR/GCA and there are quite a few people who have Sjögrens as well as PMR/GCA I think. Either may appear as "just" what is called sicca syndrome (sicca means dry) but which doesn't have any autoantibodies in the blood.
Are you under a rheumatologist or is the diagnosis so far by the GP?
Thank you for this info. I have rung GP and he has agreed to send me for scan. If nothing shows then to Maxillo facial. I have a review appt with rheumatologist in December so I have made a note to discuss with her as well. Many thanks.
