Hi all,
For the last 6 years I have been receiving treatment (false tears and oily night-time cream) to help with the dryness/scratchyness in my eyes. I also have silicone implants in my tear ducts which helped greatly especially in the Summer time.
My eye specialist or his staff have never told me if I have Sjogrens. I do have 'Map-dot dystrophy' and 'Pigment Dispersion' which in the last 1.5 years have not got any worse. I was diagnosed with these problems when I was 5 months pregnant with 3rd child. Specialist thought problems could have been triggered by my constant vomiting.
Since then although they know I had a positive ANA the eye clinic has not done any further testing. I did have the paper test and that's all I remember.
'Are there more specific tests to diagnose Sjogrens?'
