Especially read "A guide For the patient by Fox......   It's very long, but informative.

Thanks for sharing  There was a lot of good info there.

I just love how these websites and even doctors say that SjS isn't fatal then go on to list all of these serious and even life-threatening complications SjS can cause!

This is one of the original informational papers on Sjogrens. This doc has really done a great job on listing everything and summing it up. Thanks for bringing it back to people's attention. Irish

Very informative, if not a little scary!

This is one I found informative as it differentiates primary and secondary Sjogrens and the symptoms.

(I will be taking it to my Dr. who only mention dryness!!!)

I agree it was a little scary!  I was almost hesitant to post it.  It reaffirms that Sjogrens is a lot more than " dry eyes and mouth".

Jenny, It is a little scary, but it what most of us pretty much knew. It is many of the doctors who are in the dark. Irish
