I am suffering from Sjogrens syndrome for some time. Until now I develop only mouth and eye dryness. I solve my problems by using artificial tears and chewing gums and lot of water. The thing that is worrying me is Sjogrens syndrome possible complications. I heard that they can be very dangerous and that can involve some internal organs such are heart, liver and kidneys. Is this true?

In this kind of Sjogrens syndrome there are those things you are writing about. Main thing is: as long as you take your therapy regularly and maintain your problems as you were told you would be OK.
