HopeSprings Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 My Schirmer test was extremely positive for dry eyes and I thought Sjogrens might be a real possibility. I had the lip biopsy and it was negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurehope Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I saw a rheumy about my dry mouth and lack of sweating. All bloodwork turned up negative as did an ultrasound of my salivary glands (negative for appearing as Sjogren's patient, anyway). I have decided against a lip biopsy. I do not want to risk any medicines that they might have for this anyway, so why risk having a biopsy. For now, it is not worth it for me.
