sjogren's

I have been diagnosed with Sjogren's. One of the issues I have is mouth sores that have been biopsied several times over a 20 year period, and come back as Lichen Planus each time, which I understand has a probable link to autoimmune disorders.  I have been taking 200 mg tablets of Hydroxychloroquine twice daily for about 6 years now, and I had a respite from the Lichen Planus for about 3 years, but  it has been getting gradually worse, until now the sores are not only under my tongue, where it started, but are in the creases between cheek and gums, on the roof of my mouth, and the inside gumline. Over the last few years, in addition to increasing bouts with the Lichen Planus, I have developed increasingly prolific clusters of tiny chin blisters that I have assumed to be an unfortunate increase of cold sores (herpes). But now I am developing the tiny blisters on my nose and a few scattered on my cheeks. Can there be a connection between the Sjogren's, Lichen Planus, and the increasing blister activity (5 or 6 outbreaks a year)?  And is there something I can do to prevent the spread of the blisters?

Welcome to the forum and Happy 2012.
You may want to have your meds tested for safety
as some of your worsening symptoms may have to do at least partially with your long term H/C use. An ART (Autonomous Response Testing) with a natural practitioner will verify this in minutes.
Also do oil pulling with extra virgin coconut oil for microbe,toxin and bacteria removal from your oral cavity. Just look it up.
Take care.
