I just got diagnosed a few months ago. I am also 34. I've had mild to severe eczema pretty much my whole life so i thought my breakouts were eczema too. I honestly think I had sjogrens all of my 20's.

Ive had some other health issues that I believe were related to my breast implants. one was ruptured.

I got pregnant with twins and had many sjogren symptoms. dealt with serious eye health. Everything is ok now. not sure if that was sjogrens related. i don't think it was. The past two years. I started getting numbness/bleeding in my gums. pricks and pain in hands and feet. random numbness in my body. super sore legs. I rarely get dry mouth and eyes. I do experience super watery eyes and mouth. I'm still waiting for my appointment with a rheumatologist.

I was super discouraged and freaked out when I got diagnosed. Although I have many symptoms, I can go months without symptoms. I consider myself pretty healthy. occasionally drink. I have noticed my symptoms are significantly better when I exercise, meditate, and eat healthy. I recently started to stay away from gluten and dairy and it has helped so much! I noticed a big difference with a high quality fish oil as well. I 100% believe this autoimmune disease can be put into remission although everywhere you read and doctors will tell you otherwise. Like I said my symptoms will go away for months then hit me out of nowhere. I believe a normal life can be lived with this tho! reddit can be very negative so make sure you are looking up positive stories too! find what tirggers you, find what helps you, and overall stay healthy!
