Nerve Pain - hopeless

Hello warriors,

I do not have an official diagnosis yet, but I am fairly certain it is Sjogren's. It came on lightly last year with dry eye. It settled down and came back hard! Dry mouth to the point of choking. Vision changes and dry eyes. My legs and hands have random jerking. Two weeks ago, sections of my feet were numb, burning, and sometimes extremely cold. Last night, I could barely walk. I have experienced major pain with my rheumatoid arthritis and other health fuckery. *Edit: fatigue and brain fog since last year.

The nerve pain is something else. It is so scary. I'm crying as I type this. The only relief is when I'm sleeping because I have sleep meds. My neurology appointment isn't until June. I'm working with my primary and useless rheumatologist.

At what point do I go to urgent care for this? Are there any tips or tricks to reduce the nerve pain?

Thank you.
