I have had SS for over 5 years....dry eyes and mouth in the very
least of the worries....I have episode of major fatigue....it comes
and goes, mostly comes!! I am on the Evoxac...it helps some. The
more water I drink the drier my mouth gets "Cotton Mouth", it
really is bothersome at times. I have a very hard time getting
enough rest, I am always tired. Body aches are constant...I have
the feeling of heavy muscles...or over worked muscles. Joints
ache, but might be the Rhuematoid Arthritis kicking in too! Whhat
do you want to know about the SS? The internet provides plenty of
info..other that I don't think people realize how severe the SS can
get. There are some days I don't think I can make it, but I have
to push....and push hard! There are very few days I feel
great....it sucks because I am only 35 years old.
