My daughter was diagnosed with Sjogrens 2 years ago at the age of 17...She's starting to suffer quite badly already.. But the consultant mentioned that it was hereditory and that i should get tested. Which i did last year but my levels were pretty normal and he told me to get tested once a year..Is there anyone on here that a parent and child has it? would appreciate reply

    My mum, now 83 has secondary, diagnosed 10 years ago, suffers mainly with dry eyes and the dry mouth and just about lives on liquid foods.  She has lots of other symptoms too.  I am 48 and diagnosed with primary in 2011, and secondary with RA and other symptoms in September 2014.
