Sjogren's Syndrome Remission Then Relapse?

So this is what I'm thinking but I haven't found information to support my theory hence why I'm seeing if you guys have any thoughts on it. 

I believe that when I was a teenager I first starting showing symptoms of having Sjogren's Syndrome. But at the same time, I was having issues with my thyroid, being diagnosed with Hyperthryosium. I had aches and pains, but nothing that made me think it was anything other than Hyperthryosium. Then I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. And after being treated for Hashimoto's, I believe correctly this time, I am experiencing all the tell-tale signs of Sjogren's.  

My theory is that having Hashimoto's for at least 9 years and not being treated for it. Either hid the symptoms of Sjogren's or put it into remission. Because for 2 weeks after I started being treated for Hashi I felt great, my depression was at an all-time low. Then I got a cold, and everything has been going downhill from there. I say that it was in remission because a year ago I was tested for Sjogren's and it came back as positive but thinking back on the results till now, I have only been showing signs of Sjogren's for three months after I got that cold.

I've read other reports and information that Sjogren's can show itself after a cold or flu, which is exactly what happened to me. But I was positive for Sjogren's more than a year ago so just wondering if you guys have any thoughts on this, or in general how autoimmune diseases function. Because I have tried to google information on autoimmune diseases to see if one can hide the other, or similar things and can't find anything. 

If you guys have any articles or anything message me. Thanks.
