Title: A Story of Persistence Resulting in Diagnosis
Post by: Carolina on February 03, 2019, 06:14:58 AM

Dearest Sjogren's Angels,

I post this with mixed feelings. On one hand it is a joy to read of success in finding a diagnosis which resulted ln a successful treatment.

On the other hand I am still grieving that there is no successful treatment for me.

The takeaway is Persistence in self advocacy as a patient is vital.

DIAGNOSIS

The Patient's Wife Thought Her
Husband Was Being Treated for the Wrong Disease.
She Was Right.
