I was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome about 1 month ago. I had a lot of symptoms, but just ignored them because I tried to treat myself. I thought I had diabetes because I was thirsty and my mouth dry all of the time. I used to cycle and gym a lot for exercise, now I am just to tired and get short of breath so quickly. Sometimes I cannot swallow my food down and start gagging as the food gets stuck in my esophagus - it is very painful. My lips are dry and the corner of my mouth cracks and bleeds. I cannot eat certain vinegary or acidic foods, even gum or toothpaste are too strong and burn my tongue. I had bad teeth and my dentist kept on saying I should brush more even though I am very meticulous with my water flosser, normal floss and electric toothbrush - I told him now I was diagnosed (he is still not convinced Sjogren's do have an effect). I teach students and often my throat gets very scratchy and I am so hoarse, the students battle to hear me. I also battle with low grade fever and hot flushes all of the time. I often get sinusitis, and have had tracheitis, sinusitis, bronchitis and conjunctivitis for 11 days now (still on antibiotics). I've been placed on plasmoquine 1 month ago, cannot feel any difference yet. I guess the fatigue is the worst as I used to be so energetic and alive. I wonder what will help with this, if I should just drink lots of multivitamins.
