"According to the Sjogren?s Syndrome Foundation, roughly 1 million people in the United States ? primarily women ? have confirmed cases of Sjogren?s, but doctors estimate it may affect up to 4 million."

How lucky that I am one of the million (or 4 million) that has a Sjogren's diagnose.   ::)  Now if I was that same one of a million to win a million dollar lottery . . . that would be something to celebrate!!   ;)

Hi Nara, good article and thanks for bringing it to us.

And I'm with Bucky, sure would love to win the lotto!  Ahhhh, could retire in style! ;D  With that much mullah it could make living with this mess just a tad easier! ;) :D

Good article!  Actually mentions some of the myriad symptoms of Sjogren's other than dry eyes and dry mouth.

Thank you for sharing this. I used this article in a presentation in my class but the link is on the computer there. I was able to link it to my computer to send to my friends and family.

I sent a copy of this to my GP when I sent his Christmas card.  Do you suppose they will know what it's for?  Do you suppose he'll be ticked off?  I've been taking that office a nice offering of candy, nuts or other treats for the past few years.  I walk them into the office and leave them with one of the staff.  He is way to busy to expect to hand to him.

Well, I've never gotten a thank you note, or even a mention of thanks so I thought I'd just send him candy for his brain and save the $20 or so i'd spend on candy.  A card and me sending the article was only two stamps. 

This article is worth sending because chances are GP's docs don't get this specific for autoimmune mailings. Just an idea for you to think about.  Lucy
