I have a question. About 6 months ago I started to have a very dry mouth. It felt like I had cotton under my tongue. My saliva glands (I think they are called parotid glands) were noticeably larger than they usually are. I was seen by my dentist and he said that this was normal. Then all of a sudden I woke up one day, my glands were smaller than they have been in a long time and my mouth was no longer dry. I have had bouts of dry eyes as well on and off for several years. I have also seen an eye doctor for the eye problems who didn't have any awnsers for me except to use eye drops which only made a minimal difference. I have been dx with ms for 13 years now. I have been reading up on the Sjogrens website. Many of the Sjogrens symptoms are the same as MS symptoms. This whole salivary gland thing makes me wonder if I have Sjogrens instead of MS or maybe if I have both?? Does anyone here have Sjogrens or both MS and Sjogrens Syndrome?
