Am glad you found some help.
Your statement regarding the positive anti SSA and SSb is incorrect. A positive result does not mean that it can only be Sjogren's, nor does a negative result mean that it is not Sjogren's.
And for some reason that I don't understand, there seems to be a high number of nurses with Sjogren's diagnosis. I don't think we are more likely but, I do think we fight longer and harder to find the cause of the myriad of illnesses and symptoms that are part of this syndrome. Most of us, myself included, have a long list of documented diseases. Mine is a full page single spaced list of diagnosis.
I wish Lynn and the friend with the diagnosis the best, we must be our own advocates to address this.
