    Painkillers which I don't like taking. But I was wondering if it is cranial neuropathy as I was reading a book on sjogrens they explain the tingling could be the nerve on my brain. Don't know . When I visit my doctor and explain the symptoms he says it's not related to sjogrens . I would like to see a doctor that specializes in sjogrens. Can some one help me give me an address of a doctor in a London so I can consult. Thank you in advance.

    I am very curious to hear any information that you find out. I have sjogrens myself and frequently deal with headache and neck pain. I am not currently taking any treatment for it, but I have found that rests and massage helps with the pain. I was researching the issue, and found that neck and headaches are common in people with lupus. Now I know sjogrens is not lupus, but I also know that the two are very related. What I found is that the headaches are caused by excessive muscle tension in the neck, and they recommended anti-inflammatory pain killers. I am still wondering if this also happens to people with sjogrens..

    I hope you find a good doctor for treatment soon. I have been told that rhematologists are generally the best options for treatment.

    I was tested for lupus which is negative . I was on methotrexate , steroids, now I am on plaquenil. Once I stop taking meds the pain on my neck gets worst like I need a brace. I hope to find relieve soon.
