I've been suffering from sjogren's for 6 years now (firmly diagnosed). My symptoms have progressed over the years, from just fatigue and dry, to dizziness, occasional swollen on ankle or back of hands, now to frequent (almost constant) jaw pain, sensitive hearing and stiff neck and constant ringing in ears. The pain is unbearable at times. MRI was done on my lower face and except for abnormality (scarred) glands, everything else was within normal range. I am not on any autoimmune medications as my rheumatologist thought my case was still mild, and I'm allergic to plaqunil. 

Now I have to frequently take ibuprofen, which upsets my stomach. I am having trouble sleep at night because of night sweats and anxiety. I wonder weather anybody else suffered from ear and jaw related issues and have some holistic solutions for that.

    Yes, I have jaw, neck, and under ear pain. Sometimes it lasts forever.

      Thank you for your reply . Sometimes Doctors can make you feel like a freak . It's reassuring to know I'm not alone .
