Any experience in the group? Just had my surgery and for that I had to cut out al the supplements that I took ro keep my Sjogrens under control (successfully). Now it is all about the surgery but no one has addresses what to do about sjogrens. I feel like a flare (plus i have had a parotid gland inflextion that has not gotten better.
All in all I am doing exceedingly well but just feel my Sjogrens is undertreated.
Thank you for being there.
Dear iabarbosa,
Hello, it's good to hear from you. So sorry to know that you have had to go through this, but I hope that the surgery was a total success and that you are on the mend.
An infection is the last thing you need to be fighting while you are healing from surgery, has your Doctor responded with antibiotics for this, or are they off the table?
I understand, I think that a huge majority of members agree with you and feel their Sjogren's is under-treated as well. We have some very 'in the know' members that hopefully will respond to you on the supplement end of this, and I know that all supplements and sometimes meds are discontinued for surgery and healing.
Sending my best wishes for health and happiness your way,
SK

Sounds like you are on the way to feeling better. I hope that you continue to get better and stronger each day, I also hope you have some help at home while you are healing.
