Classic Sjogren's: Most often this is simply a lifelong nuisance, perhaps requiring artificial tears and regular water to sip. It's fairly common. The ANA isn't unexpected. Best wishes.

Sjogrens: Sjogren syndrome is an arthritic disease. You can stay in remission or you can flare up often. How do you feel? The antibodies help make the diagnosis for you. Now if you have or in a flare up this too can be detected in the lab studies. Arthritic disease are diagnosed clinically so how you present and how you feel is important to express
