Sjogrens/Allergies

[Debbweb01]

I'm new to this forum, but I read slit about it! I have Hughes Syndrome which I have secondary Sjögren's syndrome! I also have RA! Had Juvinile RA as a kid so not surprised to have RA again! I read many posts and I see many of us with Sjogrens have allergies! Is there a connection with Sjogrens and allergies??? I need to be in a plastic bubble I have so many allergies! I'm allergic to certain antihistamines and many drugs and forget the flowers and grasses! I've had a tooth pulled about 2 months ago and have had this annoying sore in my mouth for 2 months! Do I need it biopsies? I'm allergic to kenelog and do many of us Sjogrens have GERD and is there a comnnection! Twinky toes I thought I've seen u on our Hughes Syndrome Forum! I also never knew that some docs treated Sjogrens as psychological! I've had APS/Hughes all my life! Sjogrens probably too! My throats very scratchy my eves dry and well all the other things too! I lost my leg cuz of Hughes Syndrome, but I refuse to give into these illnesses! I'm just tired of fighting with the doctors and them telling me I'm complicated! I'm in an Asmatic State now which happens every 3 years! It's a continuous Asthma attack all day every day for 2 weeks now! My treatments make it worse cuz I'm probably allergic to the preservationists in the solution! I'm on hi dosages of prednisone! I have learned very much about Sjogrens here and appreciate all of you! Thank You! My opthomolojist here in USA has worked with me on Sjogrens and find no resistance here in USA with Sjogrens! It's because it's a woman's decease that they do this I wud assume! I just sleep with a pitcher of water at night to wet my parched throat! It's always scratchy and dry and I have trouble swallowing! That's how they found it!!! My throat on one side is much bigger than the other! The burning tongue drives me crazy any suggestions??? Thanks and GODSPEED
