Sjogren's Syndrome Support Group
|
|
One session | Free
|
|
Sjögren's ("SHOW-grins") is a chronic autoimmune disease in which white blood cells attack the moisture-producing glands. The hallmark symptoms are dry eyes and dry mouth, but it is a systemic disease, and can spread throughout the entire body causing joint pain, major organ failure, and lymphomas. Provides Sjogren's Syndrome patients and family members an opportunity to learn more about the disease, how to manage its symptoms, and provides emotional support. This is done by confidential patient-to-patient sharing discussions and/or by having an informative presentation by a healthcare professional or other expert.
