Suggest Medication For Sjogrens Syndrome

I was diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome about 6 yrs ago and have seen the same dr. ever since. Recently I had to change drs due to insurance. My 1st visit was a week ago where i got a full exam and bloodwork done. The dr. called me today and said that my RA-was pos. but my ANA was neg. He stated he wasnt exacty sure I had it at all. How can this be. Can you have bloodtests and sometimes they dont show Sjogrens?
