Made a four page list of the really weird symptoms I had. Visited 3 dozen doctors. One Neuro-ophthalmologist read the list and asked if I had dry eyes.
I said no. He did a tear test that I failed. My eyes had been dry so long I stopped noticing.
Declared I had Sjogrens. Later testing by a rheumatologist confirmed it. Treatments showed immediate improvement.
20 years from my initial compliant. 3 years intense appointments and doctors dismissing me as a hypochondriac.
Normal diagnosis time for Sjogrens is 7 years. Though that is improving
