Hello, I’m not sure how this support group works. I see that the latest posts were 2 years ago. I’ll just jump in and start with my rambling.
I was diagnosed 2weeks ago but before being diagnosed I had been sick off and on since May. In March during my annual blood work with my PCP my WBC was low. For the last 4years my WBC had been slightly low but after a significant jump this year my PCP sent me to a hematologist. It took at least a month to get an appointment. Ten days before my appointment I had vertigo…I did the Epley maneuver…yes, I googled🥹…anyway, the vertigo went away and I ended up with a double ear infection. I was sick for most of the month of May… which now i wonder if i was having a SS flare? I had experienced bouts of dry mouth and eyes for at least a year and when my markers for diabetes was normal I didn’t think anymore about it. The blood work the hematologist did showed several marker for an autoimmune disorder, she referred me to a rheumatologist. The blood work he did showed marker for SS with a positive RA factor…how she explained the positive RA
