You are welcome. I can't keep from wondering if you have Sjogren's. My daughter went in recently for an eye exam. She has worn contacts off and on for several years now. This time the eye doctor did not want her wearing them as she no longer has a mucos membrane covering her eye. When she told me, my first thought was Sjogrens. She called the eye doctor back and asked him about it. His response was "Oh, I didn't know you had a history of Sjogrens in your family. You need to see a doctor and have tests done so you can start treatment immediately before this gets any worse." It made me so sad, knowing she got it from me... She can't afford to see a doctor and have all those tests. She has no health insurance.
