I was diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome a few years back. It all started with my severe dry eyes. My left eye actually does not make any tears, and the right one just 2 mm. This was done with a Schirmer's Test which they use a piece of special paper in your eye to measure your tears. Normal...
After viewing a half a dozen posts, I came to realize something extremely important.
1) people rely on our un-educated doctors too much
2) people are hoping for miracle drug that cures all
3) no one mentioned food intolerances/sensitivity
