Hi, I was diagnosed on Monday with Sjogrens by my new rheumy which was a bit of a shock as I had failed the litmus test in May this year. My old rheumy was looking at Lupus but this one says I am too old at 55 for it to be Lupus. I also have stickiy blood and possible vascular problems and waiting to be referred.

Just wanted to say hello and see how everyone else is doing.
