I do not know what the ana and ana are. the blood test and urine are at the lab for the most recent results. the schirmers has not been ran yet. I have dry eyes, mouth, and nose. I have burning and sensations through my spine, abdomen, head, and groin. I have what seems to be autonomic problems. Bowels are not working without meds, urination isn't normal, and my testicles do not seem to be producing anything. my chest is tight making it difficult to breathe. I'm having twitching or tremors through my body. I'm not sweating like normal, it seems to be just oily. I'm very concerned and I feel like I'm terminal.
