Hello, haven't been diagnosed yet but will meet a doc in a few weeks.

I've had several mini flares this spring. Sometimes they last just a few days, sometimes about a week. Is it normal/does this sound like sjögrens? I don't get all symptoms at a time, a flare can only affect my eyes, mouth or stomach (gerd).

Also I usually get symptoms during the latter half of my menstrual cycle, does this match with anyone's experiences? I've decided to try different hormonal methods to help with my symptoms, such as Vitex or hormonal birth control. Has anyone had any changes with these type of stuff? I feel like there is a hormonal element in my symptoms...

Does this disease progress steadily, or are there distinct worse periods in between which a person can feel almost healthy? Is it possible to go into remission with Sjögren’s? I've have two vary bad perionds now, mixed with GERD and some drynesss (eyes and mouth), seeking a diagnosis.
