I also have both- the Sjogrens Foundation is a good resource for information. They also have information sheets you can take with you to appointments as many doctors are not well versed in Sjogrens symptoms and treatments.

“Primary Sjögren syndrome occurs in the absence of another underlying rheumatic disorder, whereas secondary Sjögren syndrome is associated with another underlying rheumatic disease, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or scleroderma. “

The difference between the two are important to know. It might be worth discussing with your Rheumatologist.
