Sjogren syndrome
My docotr has detacted starting of sjogren syndrome and suggested to take kenacort 40mg injection, 4 times a month and hcqs 200, 2 times a day. Both seems to be related to Steroid. I am already having highly fluctuating thyroid, goes both ways, hypo & hyper. Any new medication/changes take time to settle down in my body, also seems allergic to antibiotics.
I am afraid if these prescribed medication will suit me. Can we have any other medication for sjogren syndrome.
What are the effects of sjogren syndrome and how quick should I act for it.
Thanks
