It's so hard, the symptoms of dryness are very intrusive on life. Talk to your rheumatology consultant (who may think you are fine!) and mention your discomfort. Constipation as you know is part of the dryness; increasing water intake will help some. Things for your comfort are not necessarily medication. Best wishes

Try simethicone (Gas-x). Try to adjust diet, exercise, and try psyllium for constipation
