I just received a "suggestive of sjogrens disease" pathology diagnosis of a lip biopsy. The eye test was negative. High ana, sed rate, speckled pattern, mildly high rheumatiod factor,positive sjogrens antibodies, neg erlichia and babesia, neg ccp, and slightly anemic. Very severe pain in shoulders, hips, and lower back with sudden onset and rapid, highly effective response to prednisone. Negative Lyme (western blot and pcr), neg. HIV, neg Hep B, neg celiac, What do I really have? Could it be a parasite or mycobacterium?
