Hope the info was helpful! (I feel like a big repository of Sjogren's information - which is not relevant to anyone I know, so it's nice to share some of my wonderful "insights" into it!)
It's really not a big deal for me the vast majority of the time, and once your mom gets the symptoms under control hopefully it will not be for her. It kind of sucks that there is no "cure" but once you get the dryness under control, that's pretty much most of the battle. And, all the stuff to do to keep them under control are things probably good for everyone anyway - drinking more water, controlling stress, balance in life.

I have sjogren's secondary to another autoimmune disease.
Eye drops.. I've never tried restasis, but I use OTC Refresh liquigel. It feels sooo good to put in. I also carry a bottle of water with me at all times. And chewing gum. Helps with the saliva.
I have no aversion to prescription drugs though because, well, they make my life bearable. I hope that if she's really suffering, she'll seek out medical treatment. Life's too short to suffer through it unnecessarily.
