A member asked:

Do i have sjgren? results: ssa(ro) 5.67u/ml, ssb(la) 4.10u/ml (ref. <4.00 negative, 4.00-6.00 gray zone, >6.00 positive). dry mouth, anxiety 5 months

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: The levels of the SSA and SSB are not impressive and dry mouth can be secondary to anxiety or meds that treat anxiety. A lip biopsy can be helpful in confirming Sjogrens. Have you seen a rheumatologist?
