                        Because of the blood test, I was put on Hydroxyquiquine  (spelling?)  and it helped some but the mucle pain in my right leg would never go away so I could not sit for maore then a half hour before it would start hurting.  After two years of this I told my doctor how I would also have a dry throat and very dry eyes.  I would only get about 45 min. of sleep because I would wake up with dry eyes.  My doctor tested me for Sjogren's and I am now on a medicine for sjogren and it is called Evoxac.  This medicine is helping me out soooo much.  I now sleep good and for some odd reason it has taken the pain away in my leg. I can now sit for a long period.  I took my self off the other medicine I was on for Rhuematoid and so far (6 months) I have felt better then I have in the last four years. I am writting this to everyone because I know what it is like to live with limited abilities and now I feel I have my old life back.  I hope this will help someone who stil can not get release from their medicine.  Evoxac  has only been on the market since 2000.
