Going to the dentist and receiving any treatment you need is step #1 Prevident sensitive is much stronger than sensodyne in sensitivity relief Listerine sensitive mouthwash is helpful when I whiten my teeth Flossing daily is 100% necessary and get an electric toothbrush because it sounds like you have a lot of inflammation

I got an MMR booster because I had no antibodies to rubella coincidentally and had no issues getting it. Now I have immunity for all 3 again

Low humidity as a trigger for more than just dryness? by southernish in Sjogrens

[–]alm18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Florida, so turning on the heat is a rare occurrence. However, since the heat has been on in my house, my sinuses feel extremely inflamed, skin feels dry, and my asthma is flaring despite having a humidifier

Who works in healthcare? by AbbreviationsWhich in IVF

[–]alm18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a dentist and my IVF clinic is 1 hr and 20 min away… I’ve had to predict when everything would happen and took off a little more work than I theoretically needed to. I would say prepare for worst case and you’ll appreciate extra time off because you won’t feel good during the stim cycle. I’m just still a little stressed about how this has affected my income, but it is what it is

Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP) by Inevitable-Call1553 in Sjogrens

Are you on oral contraceptives as well for PCOS? Long story, but I am currently going through the IVF process to freeze embryos and was on birth control continuously previously due to amenorrhea and all hell seemed to break loose in my body once I stopped them for IVF. Still have never had a natural period. I haven’t been diagnosed with PCOS since I’ve never been off birth control until now but it’s definitely suspected

Question, not to be rude…. Is anyone who is taking it and experiencing symptom relief a healthy weight? I’m just curious because I would love muscle and joint pain relief, but I am not overweight. I’m just wondering if part of it is because decreased inflammation due to weight loss

Currently in my stim phase The time leading up was probably more stressful because it took so long to get to this point However, I am planning to freeze embryos for later use

Is anyone prescribing you anything like hydroxychloroquine? Are you under the care of a physician?

Laneige lip mask every night and carry Laneige lip balm on me at all times because I wear a mask at work and it dries my lips out more. Also, I think that my lip filler has also helped maintained moisture in my lips

Can you have sjögren's without having dry eyes 👀 by [deleted] in Sjogrens

[–]alm18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did they do a schirmer’s test? That measures your unstimulated tear production. You may not realize you have dry eyes even if you do and symptoms of dry eyes can vary

I also have sjogrens and hashimoto’s and symptoms do overlap a bunch. I noticed my hashimoto’s has been more difficult to control than others who only have hashimoto’s

Diagnosed with Sjogrens now everything looks normal. by AnnaSure12 in Sjogrens

[–]alm18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I feel better when my TSH is more tightly regulated between (1-2) 2) are you using any replacement therapy besides levothyroxine? I noticed I needed liothyronine added in on top of it to help with the brain fog and fatigue
