Title: Is there a forum for family to talk about their loved one with sjogrens?
Post by: saranski on January 23, 2010, 10:29:56 AM
Hi,
My hubby wants to learn more about sjogren's from "real" people, not a medical website.  He also wants a place to go where he can ask questions of other people with family members who have sjogren's.  Is there a place?  or is it ok if he uses this site???
Please let me know.

Sarah

Sarah, he would be most welcomed here. We already have some members who joined to support or find information for their family members who suffer from SjS, whether the SjS patient was a member or not.

We really appreciate family who want to learn, support and advocate for their loved ones, and he will get a very warm reception!

Sarah,

By all means, your husband is welcome to read all he wants here on our forum - posts by actual patients with Sjogren's.  He can ask questions too.  We have several family members who come here to find answers and become more aware of this strange disease called Sjogren's.  

This is the only sight I visit, so I don't know if there are other "family" sights for Sjogren's out there.  I think our sight is a wealth of information and the members compassionate, caring and fun.   ;D

Hi Sarah,

We'd love to talk to him too!  Please have him join us as well, and as the others have mentioned, there are several family members that are here as well.

Take care of yourself -

Patze

Hi Sarah
It's great your hubby wants to know more about this illness and to compare notes with others.  Yes he is more than welcome to use this site, and should he feel he wants to he can send a private message that I will pass on to my hubby, who I know will only be too happy to be of help and support should he need another man to talk to.
