Diagnosis of SS
Posted , 3 users are following.
i feel it would reassure me to get a diagnosis of ss because I think the doctor and ent think it might be but hve not offered to do a blood test to be sure. I am diabetic and I will ask my endroconologist to check for it, I realise there is no real remedy unless you are really bad, at the moment it is just the dry mouth although I have saliva and dry eyes, has anyone suffered with sore cheeks? I also have gastroparisis could there be any connection with SS?

Regarding Gastroparesis it can be related to Sjögren's syndrome as part of the GI dysmotility scenario (paralysed oesophagus, stomach and gut). However Gastroparesis is also prevalent in Diabetics along with peripheral neuropathy.

My GP referred me to Rhumatologist with all my symptoms but he was not interested as I had no immune decease, they deal with Sjögren's symptoms with rheumatoid arthritis lupus etc look up autoimmune deseases he said I needed Ophthalmologists Maxillio facial specialist who deal with salivary glands and head and neck and Ent which is where I have now been referred sorry needed to explain more Jakki x
