sjorgrens possible ?

[rwltrz1]

I am going to be tested for sjorgrens ?   This disease basically from what i am told can dry you out from the inside out, usually just eyes and mouth but can effect everything, this makes sense all my current issues are related to fluids I believe and I do feel dehydrated:

Dry Mouth Always, can never get enough to drink in fact I always carry something to drink

Dry red eyes, chronic styes, blurry vision

Chronic stones neck,kidney,bladder, possible gall bladder stone now

Gall Bladder polyps , not sure if dehydration could cause this but dot see why not if my organs are dry maybe they cant do their job hence the polyps (cholesterol) not being filtered right?

l4-l5 disc protrusion, isnt there water and fluid in the spine? not sure but if a disc gets
dry it wil have a problem, yes or no?

Muscle aches, we all know dehydration will cause muscle aches and knots

fatique

cramps right above waist

stomach issues/hi acid, etc, again water or lack of water

also lately been having depression, memory, confusion, unable to think right

I also cannot tolerate the outdorrs anymore and i seem to have these symptoms worse every year
like clockwork and the start of summer...going back 5 years only problems get worst each year

Also I have to get dentures at only 38 years old even though I have taken care of teeth and spent over
10k trying to save my teeth, reject root canals, chronic mouth sores, the whole shabang


thoughts?

I have tested postive for ra? it is elavated at 28.4, anti bodies normal , sjorgrens panel negative, so what does r.a mean that i have rheaumatoid arthritis ?

Certainly a lot of your symptoms sound like Sjogren's.  Wanted to point out that if the bloodwork comes back negative, make sure you get a lip biopsy; don't let the doctor tell you you don't have it just because the antibodies are negative.  Also, you might want to read up on peripheral neuropathy here on MedHelp.  Autoimmune diseases are a big cause of neuropathy, and that might explain some of your other symptoms. Lastly, don't let the docs tell you guys don't get it.  It's vastly underdiagnosed even in women, and it's worse for men because doctors think of it as a woman's disease.

I am of the belief the doctors cannot heal us.  Healing comes from within and that is done by giving the body what it needs to heal itself.  The diet which has shown the most success in treating these neurological diseases is the Paleo diet.  You can google it  and get the information.  I would suggest getting a book on Natural Healing which will give you the vitamins and supplements you can take to address your problem.  I am sorry to hear about your teeth but can relate.  I spent alot of money with root canals and crowns trying to keep mine but at 60 years old I realized it was my teeth that was making me so sick.  I now have a denture on the top and a particle on the bottom.  Sometimes you have to take extreme measures to get your health back.  Good Luck in your search for good health.

sorry.... and chronic muscle spasm and vibrations (feels like a cel phone on vibrate)

a constant hum sound in my head and I have calcifications all over my body: face, hip and even lung, i seem to have a calcium issue again probably from dehydration

stressed and lately have an exagerated fright response and sensitive more to sounds, etc


I really need help, I am so tired of most docs just righting this off
