My daughter was diagnosed with sjogren's disease. I and my husband are worried about this very much. We have never before heard about this. That is why I need more information about this. What are we dealing with? How dangerous this condition is? Our doctor didn’t tell us anything about this, so I must ask you.
Here is some information about this disease. Sjogren's syndrome/disease is autoimmune disorder. That means that organism is killing his own cells. Cells of tears and saliva glands are usually destroyed. So she can experience dry eyes and dry mouth. Sjogren's syndrome can also cause dryness of skin, nose and vagina. I hope this was helpful.
