[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 562573, member: 3907"] Nomad, years ago I took a course on Adult Learning Styles for work. They had an entire unit devoted to Doctors, who can get downright hostile when confronted by something they don't know. Apparently it interferes with their ability to be The Expert, so they like to learn new things in secret. With you presenting the doctor with something about which he knows nothing, I'm not surprised he got frustrated and angry. No excuse for his behaviour, but not unsurprising. Anyway, to the issue at hand, I just did some research on Sjogrens Syndrome on the Mayo Clinic website. The symptoms list they provide includes: [URL="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sjogrens-syndrome/DS00147/DSECTION=symptoms"][COLOR=#54585A][FONT=helvetica]Some people with Sjogren's syndrome also experience one or more of the following:[/FONT][/COLOR] [LIST] [*]Joint pain, swelling and stiffness [*][B]Swollen salivary glands particularly the set located behind your jaw and in front of your ears[/B] [*]Skin rashes or dry skin [*]Vaginal dryness [*]Persistent dry cough [*]Prolonged fatigue [/LIST] http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sjogrens-syndrome/DS00147/DSECTION=symptoms[/URL] Sounds to me like Swollen salivary glands describes your symptoms. I have had swollen salivary glands under my jaw before, and it is terribly painful. I hope you're able to find a doctor who will listen to you and do some research. I've included the link from the Mayo Clinic. Hope you feel better soon. Trinity [/QUOTE]
