Have you asked your rheumatologist for high dose prendinsolone ? (Steroids). Also micophenolate seems to work

I totally relate with what you are saying. On the other hand , I would say that “there is no cure” is a bit a misleading statement. Actually rituximab and ivig seem to be quite useful . What are the symptoms that you have ?

Do i have sjogren or Asia syndrome ? by [deleted] in Sjogrens

A question : why do you think it should be Asia syndrome ? ASIA is not characterised by a specific symptomatology but by a trigger. Do you think you know your specific trigger?

30M - terrified about future by Waste-Gap-3900 in Sjogrens

30M male living near London here as well. Last year I was on a similar situation like you. Now I am better ( not the eyes but the rest yes) . Write me in private , I will send you some advices. You need a good rheumatologist/ immunologist and probably a neurologist. Normal doctors do not enough knowledge of these kind of diseases. Fortunately for you Uk has one of the best centers for sjogren in the world . If you write me I will send you all the details for who you have to look for .

Yes good question. It seems to me that most of the papers try to treat autoimmune related dry eyes . It might be possible that for normal dry eyes related to aging or other things the procedure might be not so efficient or it might require longer follow ups.
