A member asked:
Diagnosed with meibomian gland dysfunction, is this indicative of sojgrens syndrome . also have fatigue, joint pain and trouble walking and dry mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: All glands can be affected by Sjögren's syndrome but this is not a typical gland in that disease. The most common areas are parotid glands and salivary glands. To diagnose the problem you should have dry eyes and mouth as well as gland swelling and either abnormal labs (ANA, SS-A, or SS-B antibodies). Ultrasound of the gland is also now being used to help in some cases.
