My buddy has Sjogrens. Its certainly an interesting disease, to say the least.

Underdiagnosed in men.

I have it as well but because I have so many odd things wrong with me I cannot know what is attributed to Sjogren’s versus something else at this point. It took Venus Williams many years to get diagnosed.

I say as a public service announcement that if a male has dry eyes and/or dry mouth don’t let the doctor get away with saying it is typically seen in females. Get the test. If your ANA is red flagging but you don’t have SSA-A or B marker ask for the Pre Sjogren’s test.
