Hello - back in Feb. 2012 Joe S. had a thread "Connections, where do you live?", and I had a follow-up thread in July 2013, "Connections - tally by state / country"  - https://sjogrensworld.org/index.php?topic=23578.msg251660#msg251660

Here we are, several years and a lot of newbies later . . . . . . . time for us to start all over again and get out the maps to see where we're all from.  (Only give information you are comfortable in giving - as this is a forum that is out there on the worldwide web for all to see if they search.)

Sjogren's knows no geographic boundaries and has a way of "finding" us no matter where we live in this big wide world of ours.  The great part of all this is that we can see that we are NOT on this journey alone - there are many of us - from all over the world trying to encourage, uplift, and help each other through the daily journey with Sjogren's.

Those members who come here to read and never post - please add your information so we can get a real picture of how vast an area Sjogren's really covers.  Many times those who are diagnosed with Sjogren's feel like they are on this journey alone - a lot of people have never even heard of Sjogren's.  However, if you are reading this, you have found your way to this website and forum - and will see that there are many, many of us who have Sjogren's whether we live here in the U.S.A., in Canada, Australia, England, Finland, and many, many more places around the globe.

I will keep a running tally of where everyone is, and then follow-up with the results a little later.

Spoons for everybody!!   ;D

I'll start first - I'm from Central Illinois, U.S.A.
