I have not been diagnosed with Sjogren&#...Hi Julia,<br />I have not been diagnosed with Sjogren's yet even though I have a lot of the symptoms. I do however have Ankylosing Spondylitis and I was misdiagnosed for 10-15 years with Fibromyalgia. By the time I was finally diagnosed correctly there was damage to my spine, and I was very disabled by the fatigue and systemic inflammation running amok. Due to the delayed diagnosis biologic medications have a very short-lived efficacy for me. The ones that work generally only work for about 6-12 months. Many I don't respond to at all. It's frustrating when our conditions resemble Fibromyalgia and we get a misdiagnosis that prolongs much needed treatment. Thanks for you blog post. They're always informative, and it's always good to hear from you.<br />ChristieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898662749845161259noreply@blogger.com
