A coincidence?

I have noticed several posters on this blog that have Sjogrens Syndrome in addition to bronchiectasis.  Does anyone know whether there is a connection?  I have both.

    No, Gary, bronchiectasis isn't the possible lung complication of SS. Very different things cause BX. The possible lung complication from SS is interstitial cystitis.

      Can you describe the different symptoms of BX and interstitial cystitis?

      thanks!

      You can look that up yourself. Be forewarned tho: most lung problems involve coughing, chest pain, phlegm, gasping and/or shortness of breath.
