Sjögren's Syndrome pronounced (SHOW-grins) is a serious, under-recognized autoimmune condition. SS is a chronic, connective tissue disease in which white blood cells attack and destroy the moisture-producing glands.

Although the hallmark symptoms are dry eyes and dry mouth, Sjögren’s syndrome may also cause dryness of other organs. 

Many patients experience debilitating fatigue and joint pains. 

Every patient may experience different symptoms at different times. No two patients exhibit the same set of symptoms.

Nine out of ten patients are women.
