Hey everyone! I'm happy to be here. I have ME/CFS and recently got in to see a rheumatologist for the first time. Suspected Sjogren's (I have many of the symptoms), but my first tests came back negative. Apparently it takes 8 years, on average, to get a diagnosis. For now, loading up on my eye drops / nasal spray / dry-mouth everything at all times.
