I"ve been diagnosed with SD, RA and Lupus. I"ve learned more about these diseases from your channel and videos than I have from my doctor. And I still don't know a lot. But thank you for what you're doing.
Thank you for watching my videos!!!!
Thank you for your insights into the similarities and differences between the two. I was diagnosed with Sjogren's in 2020. Since then, I've learned firsthand the serious systemic effects of Sjogren's. I've developed extreme fatigue, brain fog, inflammatory arthritis, polyneuropathy, carpal tunnel in both hands, muscle pain and weakness, and in 2022 I was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with Sjogren's. Too few physicians understand the serious nature of Sjogren's. It is so much more than a nuisance disease that only caused dry eye and dry mouth.
Thank you for watching my videos!!!
Likely you have developed Secondary Autonomic Disorder. Does your BP make crazy swings up and down, feel dizzy at times upon standing after being seated?
@@cathytenpenny2890 no blood pressure swings although I do have many symptoms associated with autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
Your videos are absolutely the very best! I have RA, Sjogren's, and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia. My symptoms started at age 40, but were not diagnosed until age 68, although I saw four rheumatologists during those years. Now I am 71, my joints are disfigured, and their function is greatly diminished. Unfortunately, I am chronically fatigued and accomplish very little in a day. You and your team are such a blessing to anyone traveling this journey! Thank you!
Thank you for watching my videos!!!
I was diagnosed with both 2 years ago affecting my right hand and dry eyes I just started Humira 4 months ago.
Thank you Dr. G for your very helpful rheumatology videos. They are so helpful. Plz keep sharing your wealth of knowledge. 💜
I'm glad you find the videos helpful!
I've got both RA and SS and vasculitis it took 36 yrs of gaslighting..so long it's affected my heart and lungs and kidneys...beware
Thankyou Doctor,this could be,a lifeline for me.👌
Most welcome!
Dr. Girnita: is Sjögren’s syndrome in any way related to spinal or other deformities? I had knock-knees as a child (treated with special orthopedic shoes) and scoliosis (treated with surgery and harrington rods). Was diagnosed with Sjogrens at age 35. I have not had good luck with rheumatologists since.
I have had 3 and my forth one seems to be a little more knowledgeable and is younger. It’s pretty sad when you know more about your disease and current research/treatments than your doctor does.
I am sorry to hear that! No , Sjogren’s is not related to scoliosis. Thank you for watching my videos!!!
I have all the symptoms of RA and all my test come back negative, im at a lose as to what to do next but am in pain all the time, any suggestions?
Seronegative RA is a diagnosis that is corroborated by ultrasound of the joints.
That previous comment must be from a troll cause there is a TON of helpful information in this video distinguishing the differences of SD and RA. Thank you for your videos!
Great point!Thank you for watching my videos!!!
Very helpful, thank you....The country I am living in seems to be in The Middle Ages.....Not even Fibromyalgia ist acknowledged here....😡
Glad it was helpful!
Do either of these diseases affect the SI joints? I ve had on and off pain and sensation into my feet for 2 years. Seen orthopaedic and neurologist and they couldn’t find a definitive diagnosis. I have disc degeneration but no neural compression. I wake up with upper back pain and stiffness now. I have dry eyes and now dry skin. My toes are painful. The back of my thighs tremble and I have bubbling sensation into my soles. Both sides comes and goes.It comes and goes.
It's important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
How often do you see Small Fiber Neuropathy in Sjogren’s patients?
Very often!!!
I also have neuropathy peripheral neuropathy including in the brain.. So it seems all my symptoms fit multiple autoimmune conditions.. Thanks in advance if you answer my question in the first post I've written since this morning. This is a genuine question.. 🙏🏽🤞🏼✌🏽
I have Hashimotos and really believe I also have Sjogrens, but my lab work is all negative. Now what?
It can be frustrating when lab work doesn't confirm what you're feeling. Have you discussed your symptoms with your doctor?
Interesting to
Diagnos Sjogren, its diffrent over here.
Thank you for watching my videos and supporting my channel!
10 minutes to say : dry eyes, dry mouth and joint pain....😂😂😂
I have extensively covered Sjogren’s in my channel you find a ton Of information if you want to learn more. This topic is different as you can see I try to make people understand how RA and Sjogren’s are connected. It is easy to criticize; it is hard to create content to help millions of people ! Thank you for watching my channel!!!
Where is your channel so we can all take a look and learn how to make a video to your standards?
In anticipation..

Hello, I love all your videos...
What's the difference between ssa and ssb blood test?
They target different parts in the cell. Different types of antibodies! SSA is more frequent than SSB. I hope it helps!
@@rheumatologistoncall so ssb is rare? Can someone test positive for ssb and negative for ssa?
I like it very much your blog Dra

I'm sorry to hear about your health challenges. It's important to stay strong and keep pushing forward.
I have petechiae on my chest, abdomen, and arms (I have RA and sjögren's). Is this something to check out, or is it no big deal because it has been there for a while?
Thank you for watching my videos!!!

Is pSS worse than RA?
Both pSS and RA present unique challenges and impact individuals differently. It's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to manage symptoms effectively.
