i have a lot of the symptoms of ss dry mouth, joint paint in hands and fingers but also have cheek pain and sore ribs. Will see a rheumologist in October but not sure whether to mention all these things they seem so disconnected. Also i am a diabetic. Has anyone had cheek pain with ss. Also I had an ana blood test and it was negative which does not seem to be conducive to ss.

I too have rib/flank pain. At times very jolting. My ANA was positive as was my RO/SSA and I had elevated ESR. I am diabetic also along with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, and Fibromyalga. From what I understand SJS or SS is hard to diagnose and many other disease mimic it. I guess it is important to figure out if it IS what you have possiblty through a lip biopsies because treatments for the other possibilities can make you worse. BEST of luck getting a dx and never give up

I was diagnosed with SS by having a lip biopsy done. I have dry eyes, mouth and my body aches daily. My ANA came back negative, the only thing showed out of norm was my SED RATE. All of the information that is given is very informational. Please do share with your doctor all of your symptoms. I pray that all goes well.
