Two positive ANA tests, afraid of Sjogrens

Recommended Posts

I recently went in to test for RA but ended up with two positive ANAs. RA is negative.   I have follow up with Rheumatologist but she sent me a note saying it’s stable and  all other blood work normal. 
Now I have in head I have  Sjogens because of dry mouth and occasional dry eyes. Does anyone  have this?  How can two positives be stable?

Are you sure you have the dry mouth and eyes, or has it just started up after you found out about this?

Dry mouth is caused by mouth breathing and many meds. 

My aunt has had Sjogren's since her early 30's.  She's 88.
