I just read an excellent article in Nov. 2014 issue of The Rheumatologist and thought others may be interested in reading it too.
"Systemic Sjogren's: More than a Sicca Disease"
By Pilar Brito-Zer?n, MD, PhD, and Manuel Ramos-Casals, MD, PhD, on behalf of the EULAR-SS Task Force Group

If nothing else, this article confirms the high cost of SjS. I have heard this from so many members of this forum. I look at the # of specialists I see over the course of a year and become overwhelmed at the breadth of the disease.

Excellent article. Not sure I understood 100 % of it, but I'm glad knowledgeable people are taking us seriously.
This disease is "heck on wheels."

Thank you, thank you for referring any of us this article. I wish my doctor would read it. Couldn't print it out though.
