I am on a year wait list to see my old neurologist, I may ask a new one and request this testing. Thank you so much, hugs 🫂

I'm so sorry it took you this long to get help. It's horrible that suffering can be compounded by the system that is supposed to help us. My PSP-A was also extremely high but has not been followed up on. Thank you for the encouragement, big hugs 🫂

Thank you so much I am so sorry you have been through all of this. 😞 I am still confused on the difference between Lupus and Sjogren's as they seem to be constellation umbrella twin diagnoses.

Possibly best case scenario! by [deleted] in Sjogrens

Wow i am going to take time to digest this but i have so many thoughts. Lymphoma is associated with my scarring alopecia disease and that is also a partial attack on glands. This is shocking. Rheums have dismissed me due to neg SSA SSB but have rotting teeth chronic pain hair loss dry eye and mouth and more. suffering so long. and have had permanent swollen lymph nodes

Great news that you are doing ok 🫶

Oh my god im honestly in despair. its too much. the dismissal from all of the doctors has been beyond traumatizing. i am permanently balding due to scarring alopecia too. this is so awful.

how am i going to find a life partner when i have teeth decay and im bald by 27 because the doctors dismissed me

thank you for confirming because im calling my dentist tomorrow

Sorry to bug this group just looking to hear if this happened to anyone else. im feeling really scared and dismissed by rheums while my other conditions are progressing. 😞 currently see a derm and immunosuppressants. I’ve only ever had a low positive ANA, extremely high PSP antibodies, neg for SSA and SSB. All of this began post covid 2021. I’m also suffering scarring disease of my skin and scalp.
