? Is it sjogrens syndrome
Detailed Answer:
Good evening
Thank you for writing on health care magic
Well The symptoms of dry eyes and dry mouth are quite a common symptom and can be present in a lot of conditions , with diabetes being the next common. Even drugs ( like antidepressants) can cause this condition. But with fasting glucose as 74, i am not sure how much of diabetes you have.Is the blood sugar 74 due to medications or without it?
I would like to ask a few more queries, before i can guide you further
1. Do you experience any joint pains along with dry eyes or dry mouth
2. ANy history of swelling in the parotid glands?
3. Any history of weight loss or appetite loss?
4. Did you ever get Schrimmers Test done?
5. Any history of swelling of the lymph nodes anywhere in the body
6. Do you experience lot of fatigue?
7. Did you get any blood tests done, which checked for your routine blood counts and ESR?
Sjogrens syndrome can still be present even if ANA is negative, especially when there are no symptoms in the body and is restricted to only salivary and lacrimal glands. The confirmation is then done by a salivary gland biopsy.
Do let me know these queries. Would do my best to guide you in the right direction
