In my 4th week of first really bad flare up. All new to me. Wonder which symptoms are Sjogrens and which are polymalgia rheumatica. Polymalgia is cureable but sjogerns is not. Been really bad. Sinsus badly swollen, salvia glands swollen so can't hear well. Severe joint pain and severe fatigue. 10 mg of prednisone helped pain and fatigure. Then came tounge swelling and raw, glands under jaw badly swelling. Thought I would choke to death. Scarey. Next shortness of breath, if tried to talk would gasp for each breath of air. Pain inesophagus center chest (not acid reflux) Are these all symptoms of the sjogrens? In 4th week how long do flare up last? How often can I expect bad flares to occur?(Please tell me a long time between.) My rheumatologist is out of town and expects my local family doctor to help me with this. He obviously does not really understand this problem and got upset wanting me to have all kind of test on esophagus, heart and so on. I said no! Would appreciate anyone elses experiences with this. Just don't know what is what. Hope I am on the upside of this flare. Thanks everyone..
