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.
