    I am barely in the process of diagnoses. I first started 4 yrs ago with a high fever that lasted 3 days. I felt sick and crummy. And everyone at work got sick, even my husband. Didn't think much of it. But this was two weeks before Covid was declared officially in the U.S and quarintine. To make the story short, it triggered an chronic eye disease called keratitis dendritic. I was fine after treatment. Yet, two years I got sick from a respetory infection working with kids ( I was a teacher). I had to be in medical leave because I had 5 ulcers in my eye (keratitis dendritic aka herpedic eye).Took strong doces of acyclovir. Fom there on, I hade dry eye syndrome, the trigeminal nerve pain, the 8 months after,ezcema on my neck and chin, then I became sensitive to most sunblocks, acept the one with zinc oxide. Then after fighting this for 4 years, in mid August I almost fainted. And I started have other symptoms like, sever trigeminal shock pain, dehydration. I would drink water and nothing helped, my eye were more dry than usual. My knees and ankles started to hurt. Then my stomach, lower back and last my hands and feel started to burn. So here I am trying to get things figured out in Mexico because here in the USA there is no appointments with the rheumatologist till Feb.24th 2025. I already have had 3 espisodes of pain in this month and a half. No treatment yet, till testing is done. I feel scared. I am a mother of 3 young children. I want to be able to live long for them. Is there hope for me? I need guidance.Also, no one in my family has this disease. Could have covid triggered this autoimmune disease?

    I live in England. I've got a hospital appointment next month for the diagnosis, but my dentist said she thinks I've definitely got it. She's the one who got the appointment with the dental expert. I choke in my sleep, and when I'm outside in the cold talking. My throat and mouth are extremely dry. It has affected my eyes badly.

On the youtube channel, My Sjogren's Journey, Raha descuses the bennifit of a bath soak in magnesium flakes. The flakes are different than Epsom salts. So I've been doing the bath soaks & it does give me some relief but not perminently. Raha live in the UK, she's very sweet. I'll post a link to the video & picture of what I have. 💜💙🩵🩷

    I ate 4 tins of sardines a day for a week and I now don't have dry eyes any more and my mouth is no longer dry. I eat sardines about 3 x week now to maintain the tears and saliva. What the body needs is Vitamin A. Not beta-carotene. But real, animal based, Vitamin A. And the omega 3s. I also massage the salivary glands and tear ducts. Vitamin D status is also important. Vitamin D is an immune modulator and adequate Vitamin D levels are crucial to control auto-immune conditions. But the sardines, man that was miraculous! Oh, and I was diagnosed about 25 years ago and only just figured this out this year.

Stopped couple sups, added in B1 & vit E 2 x day, using Caster oil on dry skin, rashes, leisions, itching. Nothing has eliminated but slowing progression, open to suggestions always.

I had a stroke and lost sight in my right eye where there is still a large painful blood clot. Am so depressed as nobody here fully understands SS. Can you offer any advice please.

      Good morning. I'm sorry you've been suffering so much. You deserve quality of life & support. And, I believe you!!!! Though i didn't have a battle for diagnosis, so far getting diagnosis of subsequent problems & symptoms has been like pulling teeth, docs not believing me, disagreeing with other doc's opinions and the gaslighting. A few things that have helped me are: • asking for a denied request to be written in my chart. If it's not something a medical provider would feel comfortable putting in your chart they sometimes 50/50 will come up with an alternative action or lab draw, test, referral like neurology, pulmonology, physiatry etc. I've also given a photo copy of my own tracker & ask that the copy be entered into my chart. • as often as needed I go to clinic for new or continuing symptoms & take photos of skin issues that pop up, & ask a family member or close friend to come with me to the medical visit, there might also be a heath advocate or social worker that does advocacy in person or by phone, I've not found one but they are out there. For me, knowing that someone else is in the room with me during the visit evokes kinder treatment toward me & a bit more believability because there's a advocate & witness. • educate myself on labs, diagnostic criteria for Sjogren's, lupus, etc per symptoms often overlap. • give yourself affirmation regularly - you know your body best, we have to be our own best friend • seek sjogren's supportive & reputable web sites, Sjogren's Foundation, Sjogren's Europe, Sjogren's blog & youtube Dr Burg for solid information, Facebook sjogren's support groups are great too • making therapeutic changes in addition to continuing those you've already made. • naturopathic doctors also do labs & dietary coaching etc. I've seen twice now & found past traumas, illnesses & infections I've had that can lead to developing an autoimmune disease such as your lower estrogen level per menopause & your stroke • track your symptoms, hydration, diet, any meds you take & suppliments, activity. I go about 4 months between rhumatology visits (mainly due to meds prescribed). So it's really hard to recall detailed info about symptoms etc. I've been scoffed at for doing it but do it anyway & for bringing it to my appts. I write down my concerns but need to reference my tracker for any notes so I need it. • several things can absolutely contribute to developing an autoimmune disease & so being sure to report any illnesses, traumas etc that has not already been listed in your chart can support further consiteration of Sjogren's or other autoimmune diagnosis. I hope, pray your conditions are strongly paid attention to & for your comfort. We all need eachother. I hope you will let us know how it's going & how you are. 💜💙🩵🩷

      Hi Eileen. Sounds like you've lost almost everything that holds meaning for you except your girlfriend. She sounds a bit charismatic. I'm glad you have her. Sjogren's sucks, chronic illness & chronic pain sucks & puts us in a lonely bubble of dependence, rejection, frustration, and hopelessness. Been there, still there at times. I think we are just a number to medical provider's, the next one in line. Many are under staffed, over worked & just trying to get through the visit, the day. But this understanding doesn't meet our needs. I identify with you. I believe you! You didn't cause this, not to blame. You have talents, good things to add to the world still. Though suffering limits our out put what we do have to give is important, has value. We have smat ideas, wisdoms, compassion, will to love. Walking through our grief is tough, a dark tunnel. For me there's light on the other side & joy. But unfortunately more tunnels in the journey. This past March I couldn't move, such bad pain & weakness, April & May & June sliwly improving. Much better by July. Then got covid, then started methotrexate for 8 wks, quit cuz kicked my But so bad. I'm in the light right now so doing what I can, is joyful, untill it's not. You matter. Try to focus on your, "I can" a little bit. I started with listing what's good about me, hard to think of things to list but eventually came. The tricky thing is believing them. Listen to the voices of those who truely love you. There's at least 2, you & your girlfriend. Please don't give up on you. You matter a lot. 💜💙🩵🩷 sorry so long winded.

      Carnivore has turned many people's lives around. Just plain mince if you are on a budget. And tinned sardines. I ate 4 tins of sardines a day for a week and I now don't have dry eyes any more and my mouth is no longer dry and pain has reduced. I eat sardines about 3 x week now to maintain the tears and saliva. What the body needs is Vitamin A. Not beta-carotene from vegetables. But real, animal based, Vitamin A. And the omega 3s. They reduce inflammation and help the immune system recalibrate. I found 1 teaspoon of bicarb soda with a few gulps of water before bed, and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted in a glass of water in the morning dramatically reduces pain and fibromyalgia. There is recent research showing the bicarb switches the immune system from inflammatory to anti-inflammatory. Vitamin D status is also important. Vitamin D is an immune modulator and adequate Vitamin D levels are crucial to control auto-immune conditions. Free if you can get out in the sun, but not if you eat toxic seed oils as they make your skin prone to burning. Animal fat and coconut oil in the diet enable the body to be able to make the Vitamin D from sunlight. Don't wash for at least several hours after exposure or it washes off the body oils that help produce the Vitamin D. But the sardines, man that was miraculous! Oh, and I was diagnosed about 25 years ago and only just figured this out this year. Oh, and it sounds like your body is desperate for B vitamins. No balance is especially caused by deficiency of B1 Thiamine and B12. Liver is an excellent, cheap source of those. See if you can get a book called 'Could it be B12, an epidemic of misdiagnosis' from your local library. Eon Nutrition here on youtube has excellent videos on the neurological effects of B1 deficiency.

    Hi Vicki, I’ve just found your channel and have gone over several of your videos and have left the same missed messages but they were like a year and two years old and I just found this one that said it was 13 days ago so I’m telling you I want to tell you about a doctor Brooke Goldner, who has a UA-cam channel called goodbye lupus she has helped so many people and people with your auto immune disease. She is 19 years free of symptoms of her lupus. If you haven’t found her, I beg you to look up her channel and her website and I really encourage you to read her book. Goodbye lupus, she also has some cookbooks a couple. They’re not expensive. She’s not getting rich off of this her husband and her both have a mission to help others reverse their diseases as much as possible where the scarring will allow scarring there still helped with her protocol. This was an accident. She just wanted to lose weight, she was getting married. Her husband had accepted that he might not have her very long together along with her own diet protocol that she followed lose weight before she realized that with losing weight and then continuing on this eating protocol suddenly she realized that she had no more lupus symptoms. She has been lupus free for 19 years, please please please look up her channel. She’s not selling anything except she does sell her books. She gives so much information online free. She has Instagram, UA-cam and another one of the other programs but her husband also has a book out. I think his name is Thomas Tadlock and, he’s really really knowledgeable too and they have a Facebook channel. If you go to smoothieshred.com you’ll get the Facebook page and then the recipes free recipes for the smoothies and stuff. They don’t sell any ingredients for your smoothies. They don’t sell anything like that they give their free, all of their information is free all the time you can her Wednesdays or live and she answers questions and she’s just a genuine person. This is not a scam. I just beg you to look at her UA-cam channel. She is known all over on the health channels, they have her as guest speaker, I just beg you to look at it. It can’t hurt but it sure might help and I am also doing her eating protocol. I’m just I have to say I’m not as good at it, but I know that the days the weeks that I have been on it really good. My symptoms of my auto immune disease go away, I just happen to be one of those people addicted to food and she also works with people and has many conversations about how to overcome these addictions which I keep following her because I’m going to do it but I know that there are a lot of people that write in and make Comments on her websites I mean on her videos about how her protocol has gotten them rid of their problems and yours is one of hers that she one of the things that she’s had a lot of success with. May God bless you and I just hope that God will let you open your heart to know that I am on the up and up and that checking her outcan’t hurt but it might help many people are having their reversal, including people with your auto immune disease. God bless you.

    Vicky have you found goodbye lupus yet? It’s a book written by Dr. Brooke Goldner and she also has a UA-cam channel goodbye lupus she has written a book goodbye auto immune disease. She is helping many many people reverse their auto immune diseases and yours is one of them along with lupus, Hashimoto psoriasis and many other things and there are many many benefits from her protocol and it’s not something she sell you. The books are the only thing that she sells and she gives so much of her information. Everything she has she gives for free however it’s easier to have that little book and it’s not expensive. She also has a recipe book to recipe book one of them is called. Goodbye, hello delicious she has a website. Goodbye lupus her husband, and she accidentally found this formula of food eating that reversed her lupus as she was losing weight. The protocol was developed to help her lose weight. It’s just normal every day plant exclusive eating. I just can’t not tell you about it, I know that this is not what you have your channel for this isn’t advertising. I’m someone who is getting help from her protocol. She is so giving and her husband is and she are both so giving and they’re just interested in helping other people like her several times, she almost died from her lupus she had lupus at 16. She has been symptom-free for 19 years, I hope that anyone seeing this would at least look it up is nothing to lose. It’s not a scam. Her books are sold on Amazon. She has has a wide presence on UA-cam with people inviting her and other people who have had good results with her plan her program she’s Not in there to make money she’s just an awesome person and her husband is an awesome guy. She does not encourage anyone to get off of their medication’s until their doctor takes them off, but many people are getting their auto immune diseases reversed with this protocol. Goodbye. Auto immune disease is a book that has a lot of testimonials from people who have done her private program, and been healed with it, which is the same protocol as she lives in her goodbye lupus book. For people who can’t chew a lot of veggies and plants smoothies can be made and I do the smoothies and I love them. She is such a bright positive thinking person. I hope that you will check this out. If you see my text you’ll see that it’s not a scam that this is real every day wonderful things happening. Of course mainstream doctors are not willing to say that anyone is cured, but for those 19 years, she has been symptom-free for lupus. She was a very sick dying woman may God bless you checking this out just can’t help but it sure might help.

    Have you heard of a book or an eating protocol called good life goodbye lupus bye Dr. Brooke Goldner? She has a UA-cam channel called goodbye lupus. She has helped many many people with auto immune diseases and other problems with her eating protocol. She accidentally reversed her lupus that she had had for many years since she was 16 years old and was expected several times to die. She has helped people with your type of auto immune with the Sjogren’s Hashimoto’s MS psoriasis, etc. this is strictly a plant-based protocol she wrote a book called goodbye lupus you can find her on UA-cam by putting in goodbye lupus. She has a Wednesday program. She shares all of her info for free and does have a program for connecting with people who are not able for some reason to stick to her program but still want help, but for the most part, everything is free all of her information she doesn’t hold back anything. Her husband is also in this with her and was one that helped her develop a protocol for losing weight as that’s his expertise and his degree is in fitness this is an amazing program, I have shared these books with many people. She also has written a book by auto immune disease anybody going through any of these things to check her out and there are other mini other doctors who have changed to plant-based they talk about the plants having too many oxalates however she has you drinking a lot of water unless you have like a kidney problem that you have to hold back on the water then she modifies the protocol until they’re able to take more but drinking a lot of water is one of the key things too, but she has been symptom-free for 19 years. She has a website goodbye lupus.com. So many people that I have talked to you about this now I am not on her program and the way that I want to be mainly because I have a problem with food addiction, but she has helped me so much and I’m getting closer and closer to being completely plant exclusive and I am I feel so much better my auto immune diseases much better at those times until I fall off the wagon however, many people are much better at things than I am however, I am not going to continue saying this because I am going to do it myself because I believe in this and I see so many people recovering and reversing their illnesses that were expected to die even people have commented that other diseases like heart problems and things have disappeared. I like her because she won’t lie to you if she doesn’t know if her protocol will help she won’t tell you it will and she always tells you don’t get off of your medication just because you’re going on this protocol you have to make sure that you’re OK before and have your doctor take you off of it so she’s a legitimate doctor, she’s has a wonderful program and many doctors returning to her for their illnesses. Many people are having her on their programs on UA-cam. She’s been asked to talk at seminars and things she’s been. She’s just an admit her program is amazing. I just beg you guys to look at it won’t hurt won’t hurt to investigate it.

    Hello VIckie. I am newly diagnosed with sjogrens about 3 months ago after insisting that my doctor do blood tests. There is a shortage of rheumatologists in my area so I do not have one. Do you get nausea and diarrhea out of the blue? I get nausea and diarrhea out of the blue and have to rest for a week or so until I feel better. Also sometimes I get overly tired and have to rest a week at the time. If I get bit by a mosquito or stung by an insect it causes an itchy rash that takes weeks to heal. Thank you for your channel and sharing with me.

      Yes, I do have GI symptoms & often unexpected nausea, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion & esophagus spasm to the point of nothing gng down, pain & not relieved till induced vomiting, a stomach ulcer & stomach hernia: all before & after diagnosis. I didn't know i also had food sensitivities with dairy & animal fats being my worst offenders. I mostly see a rhumatology nurse practitioner. We also don't have enough rhumatologests in my county & surrounding area. I tried to change rhum doctor 2 yr ago but was told 300 + patients were waiting for their referral intakes. Also that accross my state, Washington if a patient already has been under rhum care they have to.go back there or wait 5 years before can see a new one. I'm blessed that I have a nurse practitioner to see per have poor repor with my rhum doctor. Sometimes primary care can manage rhum med & monitoring untill pt can be seen by rhum clinic. There are a few things though that you can do in the mean time. Gaining understanding about autoimmune disease, learning your symptom triggers, new ones, past one's etc. An elimination diet can help show foods, liquids, herbs etc that your body doesn't seem to like. That sort of thing. Also connecting with others like you have here. We can learn from & support & give affirmation to eachother. All of my symptoms seem interconnected. So diarrhea can make my fatigue worse, that kind of thing. Hormons play a big roll in over stimulating the immune system, also stress. There's a Sjogren's book, 5th edition, is like a full on sjogren's dictionary, can order from sjogren's foundation & or Amazon. I pray God paves an open path for you & the care you need. He can & does move mountains but in His own timing. Sorry for my long response. Love & prayers, Vickie 💜💙🩵🩷

      Thanks for sharing your journey. In 1999 my labs done by primary care, high CRP (c - reactive protine), no signs of RA, referred to rhumatology, extensive labs, lip biopsy. Tests, symptoms, history were positive Sjogren's. I'm nearsighted, optometry never never saw Sjogren's nor labs done. Great they are aware now but it affects whole body. If able I'd seek primary care, Rhumatology, in depth labs , 2nd opinion, entire medical history taken into account. I sure hope a path opens for diagnosis, treatment avenues, so hard going through Sjogren's diagnosis. 💜💙🩵🩷
