If a food is too spicy, it hurts my tongue. So, I have learned to avoid those foods. Too hot or too cold also bothers my remaining teeth. I try to avoid driving after dark since my vision has been affected by the Sjogren's. I see halo's around the lights.
Some days are worse than others.
On the bad days, I cannot do some of the things I enjoy such as reading or crocheting. The burning and pain are only relieved by using artificial tears and keeping my eyes closed. Luckily, the very bad days don't happen too often. I do find it much harder now to get down on my knees to do things such as gardening. It seems to make the joints in my feet very unhappy.
