Do I have Sjogrens?

[Dexter1]

My dr. Suggested Sjogrens or RA when an ANA level came back elevated. I saw a rheumatologist who ruled out RA but Sjogrens wasn't discussed at that time. I talked to my pain Dr. About my dry eyes and a development of pain from T2 upwards that is very painful and has limited my ROM in my neck. He is once again focusing on Sjogrens and I see my rheumatologist in 3 weeks so will discuss then. What can you tell me about Sjogrens? I am also hypothyroid but recently over medicated and having hyper sx.

In reading below about the interstitial cystitis, I also have frequent "uti's" but some test positive for e-coli and some don't but all usually have blood. The last time I had symptoms I took Azo for 2 days and drank tons of water and it went away. Is this a indication of Sjogrens?
