Brief Answer:
Humidifier

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The dryness is probably due to the sjogren syndrome itself.
The best symptomatic treatment is use of humidifiers.
The air when humid will allow you a better way.
The other option is use of distilled water.
But this has major effects on bones and this is why I would not suggest it.
Best of luck. Dr Mittal
