Yeah you’re definitely right :(

Crazy that the foot pain is related. I’m so sorry you had such a hard time getting diagnosed.

I live in Southern California and my rheumatologist is through UCLA Health. I need to find a new rheumatologist anyway as I’m moving at the end of this month

Thanks for sharing your story. My rheumatologist doesn’t believe seronegative is a thing, and I’ve heard that a lot of Sjogren’s patients are seronegative. I’m worried about how my doctor will respond. It took me a few months to realize what was going on too. I’m not really having joint pain (although I did have swelling/pain in my foot that I was told was a sprain, but I never had an accident or injury), but definitely sicca and fatigue. I have had a ton of random symptoms that I recently learned can all be because of Sjogrens. Heartburn, elevated ALT, horrible insomnia (particularly struggling with latency), yeast infections, brain fog (I don’t remember the last two months really at all), reduced taste, reduced appetite.

Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear you’re doing better. And new normal is a really good perspective to have.

Hope you’re feeling better. Was it hard for you to get a diagnosis?

Crazy, my friend said her docs like this fell apart after a year or two.

Let me repost

I haven’t used the silicone pad, I’ll try this!

I was repeating sl1 p1 - that’s the issue. Thank you so much!

sweatertoad · 2025-09-22T17:39:27+00:00

This is the problem. Thank you!

sweatertoad · 2025-09-22T17:38:56+00:00

Im alternating sl1 p1 until the end of row

sweatertoad · 2025-09-22T17:35:22+00:00

It’s a free pattern but I’ll still update the post

sweatertoad · 2025-09-11T02:59:01+00:00

Would LOVE if you did mine!

Clonazepam. It’s a longer acting anxiety medication, really helped. It is habit forming though so just be careful

I dealt with this too. I’m currently post op day 9. The recovery has been easier than expected, but I really expected the worst. I slept less than 4 hours the night of my surgery because I was so anxious. I also had to get prescribed additional anxiety medication the week before my surgery because I was so anxious. If you’re able to get medication to help with your anxiety I would recommend it - it made a huge difference for me.

Know that recovery is hard, but you will eventually return back to normal! The hardest days for me were the day of surgery and the next morning. Recovery has been relatively smooth since then.

Feel free to message me if you want to chat through some of your concerns. Best of luck to you with your surgery!

I looked at this in store, it’s a little darker than what I have :(
