- Bloodshot eyes
- Joints feel warm
- Feels a hard lump in upper right abdomen
- Swelling below the ear/s

Diagnostic Questions for Sjogren Syndrome
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have body-wide pain?
- Do your fingers and toes turn from pale blue to purplish-red color in the cold?
- Do you have bloodshot (red) eyes?
- Are your joints hot?
- Do you feel a hard lump in your upper right abdomen?
Treatment of Sjogren Syndrome
Treatment aims to keep the eyes and mouth moist, preventing further damage to those organs protected by saliva and tears. This is done through regular eye drops and sprays. Some patients may also experience joint pains or rashes; these symptoms can be managed with anti-inflammatory medicine and creams.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
