Sjogren's/RA Flare / Mouth Pain

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone.

I have RA and was just diagnosed with Sjogren's last month. I've noticed

that whenever I have an RA flare, it seems to trigger something in my

mouth. I feel as though I have the worst toothache I've ever had. It will go

once my flare has settled down a bit, but it comes back each time. I know

that the Sjogren's has destroyed a lot of my teeth because of the chronic

dry-mouth, but just wondered if anyone else experiences the same

problem? I have been to the dentist and to the doc. They are both saying

it's the Sjogren's....but wanted to know if anyone else is dealing with

mouth pain along with the joint pain.

Thank you,
