Far from definitive medical advice but a close friend of mine has it - and she doesn't have any of those symptoms, but also doesn't drink at all because shes already so tired, drinking just sends her to sleep...
Not sure that that helps though

As with anything that is affecting the nervous system, those things are possible but not always present.
This came up as a possibility before my dad's MS diagnosis and he can sometimes appear pissed (lack of balance, tiredness, incoherence).

Do they smell of booze?

Sjogren's doesn't typically cause those symptoms, and ditto the medications used for it. It might be another autoimmune/neurological condition. As someone above said, can you smell booze on them/is there physical evidence of alcohol misuse?

Someone I deal with has been diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome. Seems like a nasty disease I feel really sorry for him.
But recently his behaviour seems suggests that he may have developed a drinking problem.
Could Sjogren cause slurred speech, disorientation etc? Could the meds prescribed for Sjogren cause it? Or is he basically just sozzeled?
