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.
