| Re: Sjogrens/Fibromyalgia/hypothyroid/depression
What exactly are you looking for? I have secondary Sjogren's to scleroderma with Hashimoto's thyroiditis as well, so I know what it's like to have more than one condition. My rheumy doesn't treat the thyroid issues, or the scleroderma induced migraines, or the eye problems. Sometimes it seems that I have an awful lot of Dr.s! But, I keep my rheumatologist informed and up to date of all the scleroderma related issues as he's my "overseer" of all that as it were, and I keep my Primary care Dr up to date with everything else. A good relationship with your Dr's is essential to give you that secure feeling that they are indeed treating you as a whole individual, rather than just a symptom here or a problem there. I hope this helps, and good luck to you.
