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 weather an and thank you for your advise. I will check into what is going on. Glad I have found this website as can relate to a lot of the posts and I don't feel so isolated. I don't know of anyone else with sjogrens so will be good to stay in touch😊

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.
