Hi all - I know that, because I have one autoimmune illness (celiac
disease), I might be at higher risk for developing others. I'm interested
in finding out if list members have had trouble with Sjogren's and/or
Reynaud's syndromes. I'm particularly interested in these two syndromes
because my maternal grandmother had both, and my mother has Reynaud's (yup,
she's supposed to get the gluten antibody test done this winter).

If you do have one or both of these - do you remember what the early signs
were? What sort of testing did you have done? What sort of treatment was
recommended? My grandmother had the ducts draining from the eyes into the
nose burned closed (Sjogren's) - is that something that's still done?

Thanks.
