@Casacapa Hello Casacapa,

What symptoms are you currently experiencing?

We have a community of Sjogren's syndrome on Carenity, are there any other members who have been diagnosed? Do you have any advice for someone struggling to find a diagnosis?

Hello everyone,

I thought I would revive this discussion, as Sjögren's syndrome is a condition that often occurs for patients with rheumatoid arthritis!

For those who may not know Sjögren's syndrome, it is an immune system disorder affecting the salivary and tear glands. It is characterised by dry eyes and dry mouth.

How were you diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome? Was it before or after your RA diagnosis? How do you cope with it? Do you have any advice to share?

Take care,
Courtney
