It is soooo sad that it took 7 years to get the correct diagnosis. We need more awareness of autoimmune diseases and the effects it has on those who suffer from it.

Think about those of us that are ssa, etc neg, but have all the symptoms. It might be a decade before you turn positive. I just say that's what I've got (w/rheumatologist ok). It makes a difference with non-rheumatologists. They actually pay attention to you

ive always respected Venus, shes so much lovelier than her sister..i followed her channel for a while, but i think she has not filed for a while, what a shame.
I have RA, Sjogrens, coeliac and vasculitis..i had jeunvile RA, but was misdiagnosed all my life, it was a naturopath who finally looked at my hands and eyes, tongue, one minute..no appt just walked in asking about non animal iron tablets (she didnt sell me anything just told me to go to my GP and ask gor a CRP FBC test)..my doctor refused, he said she was a quack, all naturopath s were...i wasnt diagnosed until i was 33, ten years later, when i couldnt get out of bed, my feet too swollen to fit into my shoes..33 years of fatigue and severe pain. That lady was kind and deserved better, may God rest her beautiful soul, she died young in her 30s, in a car crash. xx

Mine started in 2016 I first went to a rheumatologist. My numbers did not show them anything for some reason. I struggled with pain and sinus infections and when I got the medicine it made me sick and in pain. My eyes were tearing my hands felt sore I used to run them under hot water. I could not get an answer of my pain all over my body. Went to another doctor for pain foggy brain soreness back pain. And now it's 2025 and I had a horrible flare-up. A month of antibiotics and I'm still struggling. Have issues with a lot of medicines and I wonder if this is about sjogren's fighting the medicine that I seem to have issues with a lot of the times. So tramadol meloxicam ultram or all things that don't help me but make me feel worse and I think the sjogren's is fighting any medicine I tried to take to help me.😢 I'm using medical marijuana just to numb myself for the pain. The pain is excruciating.
