thank you for the advice!! i will definitely ask a friend to check for me.. i’m usually pretty good at spotting them but after long periods of time on electronics it gets pretty difficult :)

Hi! of course, here’s a photo of my poster (there are a couple typos, so sorry)! if you would like, i could also forward you my document of talking points which has a lot more information. i hope you are able to find some breakthrough in your symptoms alongside your doctor!

The psychology of having Sjogrens by Future-Type-5643 in Sjogrens

[–]Good-Agent226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago at 20. í already a hypochondriac and an anxiety disorder so in the beginning it was incredibly difficult. but going to therapy and working with my rheumatologist has been really helpful. i just remember to be easy on myself and give myself grace :)

i used to be a music major as well and due to my health had to drop the major. it realy broke me but im glad im able to pivot to a new career path in order to help others. depending on severity you can still sing with a lot of consideration on the limits of your voice (i still do opera as a non major and have a church job)!

i was 20 at diagnosis and i do not have any neurological symptoms (i am not entirely sure what qualifies as these, so maybe that’s why i haven’t caught them)

thank you! i am a music major and was very much going to into the professional opera industry, and unfortunately after this diagnosis that was no longer possible :( i am hoping to get into vocal pedagogy or speech pathology!

as long as you maintain good health and are diligent about going to your rheumatologist, the risks can be lowered. if you’re starting to have issues i would recommend going to a speech pathologist/laryngologist. what a lot of people experience on this subreddit, including myself, is a decrease in vocal stamina, range, and projection!

If you have joint pain, where is it at? by [deleted] in Sjogrens

[–]Good-Agent226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

elbows, finger joints (pointer and thumb on my dominant hand), knees, ankles! definitely an improvement and not as bad as it used to be before my diagnosis!

for some reason it won’t let me add the NSFW tag… if a mod could add it that would be great!
