Has anyone noticed any relationship between Sjogrens and water retention? It seems like, since Sjogrens attacks moisture, they wouldn't go together. But I have noticed that when I am about to have a good week without a lot of symptoms, it starts with my body getting rid of excess water (I urinate large volumes regardless of how much I am drinking and then am about two pounds lighter). I am just wondering if flares can cause you to retain water. I don't eat a lot of salt so I don't think it is diet related.

I have noticed unexplained wide swings between fluid retention and diuresis. Sometimes I put water retention down to periods of constipation, but I admit this doesn't really cover all of the incidences. Obviously, we all retain water for a few hours immediately after eating a very salty meal too, but these phases happen too often in my case to be explained by salty food, as I only very rarely eat a meal containing a lot of salt - usually when eating out in restaurants.
I get wide variations in the severity of my symptoms too - but usually on a cycle of months or even years rather than weeks. I'll try and keep tabs on whether or not there's any correlation between these variations and fluid retention or diuresis.
