Ok, thank you!...
Hi Lynnwood, Plaquenil gradually became less and less affective for me over time. I recently stopped taking it because it didn't seem to be doing anything. But I started thinking, if it's a disease...
I think I've heard of Lupus and RA occasionally going into remission after methotrexate. Does primary sjogren's ever go into remission after methotrexate? Plaquinil isn't working for me anymore....
A friend of mine with RA told me about taking tumeric (herbal supplement) for fatigue. It seems to be working really well so far. It lasts longer than advil. I was curious about other people's...
I'm 30 year old and I'm burning up between about 9:00pm-11:00am everyday. I feel a little crazy, but I'm wondering if I'm going through menopause really early. I've noticed if I eat soy products for...
I have primary sjogren's syndrome. I specifically have much worse fatigue after eating. I feel fine after eating fruit and vegetables, but feel terrible after eating nearly anything else. I read an...
Hi Lizzard77, I'm so sorry to hear about the tumor. I went to an ENT, and he said he assumes it's just acid reflux since I have a history of acid reflux problems. He told me to up my antacids and...
I have primary Sjogren's. Fatigue is my biggest problem. My joints are doing ok right now with Plaquenil, but the fatigue is really terrible. Would Methotrexate help the fatigue more? Should I switch...

I've had quite a few phantom smells too lately. I have primary Sjogren's. I haven't had a chance to ask my rheumy about it yet. Please let me know if you find anything out about this!...
Ok, thank you for the advise. I have primary Sjogren's disease. I just recently got a diagnosis after about 6 years of trying to figure it out. My rheumatologist made similar lifestyle suggestions....
Also, I take Plaquinil. It was good for me for a few years, and it worked great. But doesn't seem to work as well for me as it used to. My fatigue and joints have been getting worse. I started taking...
Thank you for the advise. I'll definitely try to limit my obligations when possible. I had never heard of "The Spoon Theory." Thank you for sharing that. I think it did a really good job of...
I'm a relatively private person and I don't like people knowing about my health problems. Occasionally I feel so fatigued that I don't feel like I can go out. I don't like to tell that I'm not...
