I am 55, white, female. I had whooping cough which left me with Sjorgrens which was largely asymptomatic until it wasn't. Two years after diagnosis I had extreme fatigue, weird rashes and pimply type things on my scalp, very red eyes. I tried anything and everything including the Auto Immune Protocol. It's no joke and it's a big commitment but after a few months it made a huge difference and I was able to start exercising and commuting by bike. AIP has a lot of supplements and it is worth getting one of the main books about them for that. Headlines: No gluten, dairy, alcohol, nightshades, sugar. Only grass fed meat. If you eat meat you eat nose to tail - so liver, skin, marrow. Lots of probiotics in diet. I sometimes cheat (cheese) these days but I have mostly kept it up for four years. I had a flare up while getting over Covid but mostly I have been healthy and highly functional. I think the AIP was a part of it, but I also tried low dose naltraxone, transcendental meditation (wow that helps with everything) Iyengar yoga (alignment and twists benefits internal organs). I also work on a kneeling chair or cross legged on the floor. Who knows which of the things really help - one person once told me they all do. I wish you all well on your quest to manage this condition and live in harmony with the body that you have.

Raw milk. A high fat (high quality Ghee, butter, lard, tallow) diet. Digestives such as kraut, kvass, acv, enzymes to enable you to digest proteins. Pesticide free food.

My Sjorgens Syndrome was cured from some combination of these.
