Not commonly: Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that is a cousin of lupus where glands like tear glands and salivary glands are attacked as if they were an infection and results in loss of those cells and ability to make tears, saliva, etc. Some patients with lupus and similar conditions get raynaud's where fingers or toes turn blue, white, and red often triggered by cold. Sweating not common though.

Not likely: Sjogren's Syndrome can affect any of the body's glands, including those that secrete sweat, saliva and oil. This means that the symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome are mainly due to dryness and lack of gland secretion.
