Question:
Could you please read about my problem and tell me if it`s possible that I have lupus or any other kind of autoimmune disease. For the last four years (I`m 25 years old) I`ve been having unexplained eye-conjunctivitises (the last one was in August) and here`s rheumatologists have diagnosed me with Sjogren`s syndrome.

But this diagnosis seems rather strange to me since: -I`ve been using artificial tears only twice a day (when I don`t have
conjunctivitis, otherwise I have to use ophthalmic corticosteroids and antibiotics), I don`t feel any particular dryness in my mouth (I can swallow food without drinking) or in any other body`s membrane; -Dry eye tests(Schirmer, Fluorescein and Rose Bengal) were NEGATIVE; -Biopsy of the inner lip DID NOT confirm Sjogren`s syndrome -Since the age of 13 I`ve been having a small but noticeable redness around my nose which has spreaded in the last month and the rashes also became itchy (dermathologist diagnosed it with dermatitis seborrhoicafaciei and prescribed me Oronazol(ketoconazol) and oral contraceptive pills.

Answer:
You may certainly have a connective tissue disease that is evolving so the diagnosis is difficult to pinpoint. Many of the symptoms you are experiencing are nonspecific and will not necessarily lead to a diagnosis. However, your bloodwork suggests a connective tissue disease may be present. It may take time to determine if this is for certain Sjogren's or if it is an overlap with something like lupus. Some people may never get a firm diagnosis and get labeled as probable or possible connective tissue disease of which symptoms of Sjogren's and lupus may be present.
