Dry Eyes and Dry Mouth

OSCE Voice Station

Patricia is a 54-year-old female presenting with several months of dry eyes and dry mouth with fatigue and joint aches. I'm a 54-year-old woman with about six months of dry, gritty eyes that feel like there's sand in them, and a very dry mouth that makes me sip water constantly to swallow dry foods. My dentist recently found several new cavities. My salivary glands in my cheeks occasionally feel swollen but it comes and goes. Your task is to take a focused history from this patient.
