  1. Hello,
    I have Dry eye disease for about 5 years now, my rheumatologist recently diagnosed me with Shrogrens, it has been a nightmare with all the symptoms I get. Severely dry eyes, mouth. I also have Rheumatoid arthritis, so it's double whammy with fatigue, and joint pain. I also have fibromyalgia, migraine. I take many medications for all these issues. I dont sleep much with these issues, waking up to drink water to keep mouth moist is a biggie for me. I have a painful rash in the back neck area, mouth and nose sores, receding, painful & bleeding gums is this something anyone experiences?

    1. Hi ! My name is Beverly, I also have that horrible Sjogrens . For my eyes I use OTC Systane Ultra PF , it worked great , you can use upto 4 times a day . Target & Walmart carry it for good price , I buy the big box. For my dry mouth I used Ricola Berry Medley, I now have hypergeusia and use them , very calming and refreshing. If you also have the dry lips and sores in the corner of lips/mouth , I use Burts Bees watermelon it quenches my lips , it's the only one the helps them . I always have those 2 near me and with when I go out . Stash in my purse ! For my mouth I also drink very sour homemade lemonade , it seems to clean/clear my taste buds. Very wonderful ! Maybe one of these can help .
