Sjögren's Syndromepronounced (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.
