Do I have SS? Extremely scared

Hello,

I am a 27 year old man. My nightmare started on March 23rd after I thought I had contracted HIV through deep kissing... I convinced myself I had all the symptopms and I really had them. Previously, in February I already had symptoms like chest pain and the internist ordered a chest x-ray and several analysis that appeared to be fine.

The real problems happened with the HIV scare... I tested multiple times with different tests and all of them negative.

One of those symptoms torturing me about HIV was a white tongue which I later discovered was dry mouth and not thrush as I thought.

My symptoms now are dry mouth and dry eyes. My ENT and a oral medicine specialist confirmed I have reduced saliva production. The ENT doctor ordered some blood tests to search for autoimmune disseases (as my mother has Rheumathoid Arthritis)... I do have some joint pain but I have always had it all my life... and I had been tested early this year (early March) for RF and it was negative.

Anyway, the tests I had last week checked my thyroid and autoantibodies, these are the results:

SSA(Ro) 5.67 U/ml
SSB(La) 4.10 U/ml
(Reference values: <4.00 negative, 4.00-6.00 gray zone, >6.00 positive)

ANA 0.50 INDEX (Reference values:0-1.5)

As you can see I got "gray zone" results for SSA and SSB which have me totally freaking out, depressed, stressed and anxious...
The ANA came back within the normal range values, as well as the thyroid tests.

I showed this to my ENT who scared me so much saying I very probably had SS.

I then went to the rheumatologist who sees my mother and he said I didn't have SS "yet" (omg why yet???? what does he mean? he ordered more tests to be performed within 2 months time).
I asked him why "yet?" what do you mean? will I have it for sure? and he said that I probably will have it and that I could also probably never have it but that he has to check me given the symptoms and my mother's illness.

I'm panicking. I think I will go crazy during these months. I think about SS all day long and how my life will be ruined by it...

You have much more experience with this issue. Could you please tell me if my SSA and SSB results are so abnormal? Can I expect to be healthy and not having SS?

I'm very young :(

Please help.

Thanks.

Scared88 - relax - if you have one or two of the Autoimmune diseases, you learn to live with them, what medications help, how to care for yourself, and you will settle into a routine. But the main thing right now is to calm yourself - take a hot soak in the tub - read novels that are uplifting - there are lots of things available. Take care, HotinTexas
