I went to the rheumatologist today. He confirmed that indeed it is sjogrens. He said that according to the pathology report, some diagnostic test had levels between 1-4. Four being the most definite. Mine was a four. Apparently I've had it for a long time.
He put me on Plaquenil. It is supposed to slow down the progression...he said if it made me feel better too, that was a bonus! :) I've read that it is a good prescription, with very few side effects. It takes about a month to get in your system, so we will see!!
That's all for now. If I have any new developments, I'll update the blog. Thank you again for all of your thoughts and prayers!
Blessings,
Peggy
