Well, after over a year of dealing with this I FINALLY have an official diagnosis to what is causing my EM and Sjogren's Syndrome (SHOW-grins)...LUPUS!

Not "excited" that I have Lupus, but I'm very relieved to finally know the primary auto-immune disease causing these secondary issues.

I have even more blood drawn today for her to review and discuss at my treatment options appointment on Tuesday morning.

Glad you finally found out the primary cause, I've been waiting for over 4 years and still nothing. Good luck in finding best treatment options.
