Did Scrooge Have Sjogren's?

[Joe S.]

Scrooge is always picture in movies and plays with a mumps scarf that may indicate Sjogren's. They also show him wearing gloves with the finger tips cut off -- Raynauld's?

good observation. you may be onto something.

It would explain his mood.

He also moves like he suffers from body aches and pains. By jove, I think hes got is!! Irish

[A66eyroad]

Yes! And his eyes were always red, too!

However ---- he DID sleep all the way through a night, and I don't know many of us who can say that.

[Joe S.]

Did not the ghosts keep him up?

[A66eyroad]

Hmmmm!  I guess I always thought the ghosts came to him in his dreams!

[Narablueeyes]

Hmmmm!  I guess I always thought the ghosts came to him in his dreams!

They did.  Remember, he kept waking up after every trip.

[Patze]

Yep, he did wake up after each visit, didn't he?

Joe, you crack me up!    But I think you're onto something.

[Pisces24]

Makes sense to me.

There have been articles I remember about Lincoln and other past "famouses" about what they might have had.

[irish]

So, Joe, What you are really implying is that Sjogrens makes one cranky. Is that the deal??? Nah, I am never cranky and I never am as ornery as Scrooge. Oh, wait, yah, that's right. And I am rich and good looking also. Irish

[Scottietottie]

Now - did Scrooge have brain-fog?

[Joe S.]

I think he forgot the joys of his youth.

[harlin]

He had to, why else was he so cranky?
