Sandy1964

Hi fairly new here don't post much. I have confirmed osteoarthritis knees hips ankles left and right shoulder hands, also have raynaud's had recent diagnosis of oesophageal dismortality confirmed by barium swallow also have dry eyes mouth and sores up nose unexplained rashes which come and go random thick dry skin blood spots arm and legs even got one on my lip. Also have enlarged reactive lymph nodes had biopsy done to rule out non hodgkin's lymphoma all that showed was chronic inflammation but not the cause having tests to find a cause for symptoms. Rheumatologist thinks it might be sicca syndrome or some other autoimmune disease has anyone else been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease as well as having osteoarthritis.
