Dear patient,
What you are suffering from is a consequence of a steroid therapy that is used to remit sjogren's syndrome. Now that we know all your symptoms, i suggest you do some lifestyle modifications to tide over this situation. Firstly, get a diet rich in carbs and proteins go rebuild your body mass and strength. Incorporate 20-25mins of cardio exercise like brisk walk in your toutine 5 times a week. Include greens, fruits and dry fruits kn diet. Do yoga and meditation 3 times a week to increase ur mental and physical resilience. You may take vitamin and calcium supplements to fell good sooner.
