I have had blood tests for Sjogrens, these came back negative. I do get dry mouth and eyes but its intermitent. Can Sjogrens be like this?

    Yes, you may see an increase or decrease in your symptoms depending on various factors that may be happening in your life.  Good luck!  I hope that you find a way to keep all your symptoms at bay.
