Hi billy, if these are mew symptoms to you , you should see your rheumy . Joint pain can be due to sjogrens ( i have pains in hands , feet and hips ) but it's worth checking its not due to something else . 🌸

Hi! I am in Australia and have had Sjögrens for about 10 years. The Eyes and mouth are a big problem. My muscle problems are not in the same league as others.
