SJOGRENS TX: SS Can be tough to treat. You need a through exam and labs. Then eval by a good RHEUMATOLGIST. It can be primary or secondary. When severe steroids and IGG may be needed. If you are prone to dehydration And can't keep orally hydrated, D/W your doctor placing a mediport. You can have labs drawn easily /IV IGG AND STEROIDS can be given and fluids.
