An amazing experience bringing greater awareness to Sjögren's, a serious and systemic autoimmune disease! #ThisIsSjögrens #SjögrensAwarenessMonth
.@SjogrensOrg joins us at MarketSite for the @NasdaqExchange Closing Bell in recognition of #SjögrensAwarenessMonth. Since their founding in 1983 to today, their mission has remained in helping patients cope with their Sjögren's, increase awareness, and support research efforts. #ThisIsSjögrens

Congrats! @SjogrensOrg rang the closing bell at NASDAQ just now to bring awareness to #Sjogrens Awareness Month! Sjogren's disease is a systemic autoimmune disease that is underdiagnosed and affects 2-3 million Americans. Good job @janetchurch and all at the Foundation!

Taylor 25: Sjögren's can display as an invisible disease. I cope with my symptoms by actively advocating for a cure. Sjögren's has taught me that I am a conqueror and together we will conquer Sjögren's. #ThisIsSjögrens #SjögrensAwarenessMonth #Sjögrens sjogrens.org/member-communit…

Jacqueline 36: My dry eye symptoms evolved into corneal ulcers and scarring, which has caused me to go blind in one eye. Sjögren's has taught me humility. I have limitations and that's okay. #ThisIsSjögrens #SjögrensAwarenessMonth #Sjögrens Learn more: sjogrens.org/blog/2019/sjogr…

It's #DysautonomiaAwarenessMonth! Sjogren's is the second most common cause of autonomic neuropathy. If you have chronic dry eyes or dry mouth, and a form of dysautonomia, we encourage you to talk to your doctor about getting screened for Sjogren's syndrome.

Kenya 47 (diagnosed at 43) Since I was diagnosed with Sjögren’s, I have learned that I am stronger than I thought I was. I have to be! My three most difficult Sjögren’s symptoms are muscle pain, joint pain & fatigue. The pain I experience is sometimes unbearable. #ThisIsSjögrens

Cyndi 52 (diagnosed at 43) Since I was diagnosed with Sjögren’s, I have learned to find my voice. I want to encourage all patients to find their voice. It took me years to find mine. Don’t try to hide your disease – once you own it, you gain all of your power back #ThisIsSjögrens

Suzanne 34 (diagnosed at 33) I wish people understood that even though I don’t look sick, there are days when I can’t function. I rarely talk about how bad I’m feeling because I look “OK.” If you’re living with Sjögren’s, you’re not alone. #ThisIsSjögrens sjogrens.org/blog/2021/sjogr…

Grace 15 (diagnosed at 8) After being diagnosed, I tried to “suck it up” because I didn't want to be seen as attention-seeking. The only place that ever got me was in the ER. It’s important to educate people about this disease. #ThisIsSjögrens #PediatricSjögrensAwarenessDay

Char 40 (diagnosed at 38) Sjögren’s means I struggle to do what used to be simple tasks. I’ve accepted that my diagnosis isn’t my fault & I must be kind with myself. A lot of people have never heard of Sjögren’s. We need to raise awareness! #ThisIsSjögrens sjogrens.org/blog/2021/sjogr…

To #Sjogrens patients, Participating in a clinical trial is not only important, but you will receive superior medical care and in-depth knowledge about your relationship with Sjogrens!
New clinical study locations are now recruiting Sjögren’s patients. We encourage you to learn more about these studies and if one might be right for you. These trials can make a difference in the care and treatment of all future Sjögren’s patients. sjogrens.org/living-with-sjo…

#TipTuesday: Be your own best advocate! If you feel your Sjögren’s symptoms are dismissed by a physician, help educate them or find another physician. By staying informed, you will feel more in control of your disease. sjogrens.org/member-communit…
