Non-dryness related symptoms

I was diagnosed with Sjrogens originally when I was a teenager. After just sort of struggling through and not treating it for many years, I went to a new rheumatologist and asked them to do full bloodwork and any tests to validate if they believed I had it. They confirmed that I do in fact have Sjrogens Syndrome.

However, my symptoms are not really related to dry eye or dry mouth. I mean, sure I sometimes feel like my eyes are dry when I’m looking at screens and I have had a lot of dental issues that could be related to dry mouth however these barely feel like symptoms I notice at all. So many people with SS have such worse symptoms relating to those things that I often feel like maybe the symptoms I have aren’t even really Sjrogens.

My main symptom is chronic fatigue and exhaustion. I also have a lot of joint pain and brain fog. On top of that I have some GI issues and am incredibly sensitive to cold. But since I don’t have the bad dry mouth and eyes I wonder if I’m wasting my time trying to treat the SS at all.
