What was your first symptom of Sjogrens and how did symptoms develope?

[Ctb567]

I think I may have Sjogrens but it would be interesting to know other peoples stories like starting symptoms and how long it took to get a diagnosis as I've heard it can take a while for certain autoimmune diseases to show up on tests. Any information would be great

Thanks

My first symptom was my Parroted Glan kept swelling and pain in all my joints, it takes 6, 8 or 10 years before it shows up in a blood test, Sjogren's has the ability to mimic other diseases, such as Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer's so you will most probably be diagnosed with one of these first, if more info is needed go to my website sjogrens.org.au
