Sjogren?

Sjogren?

Doctors have been thinking I have MS for years.  I do have dry eyes that have been diagnosed as Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy and I have dry mouth, part of Eosonphilic Esophagitis.  I have dry nose, skin, and a lot of the typical MS symptoms.  Should a specialist start looking more at Sjogren as a possibility?  What kind of specialist do I see?

You would see a rheumatologist for Sjogrens Syndrome. A lot of auto immune diseases over lap each other so it would not be surprising if you had more than one. There are some blood tests they can do (ana, anti-ssa and anti-ssb) as well as some tests to check your tear production and salivary glands.
