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…

New Sjögren’s clinical trial locations! A clinical trial provides participants an opportunity to receive potential benefit from a drug, medical device or procedure and the results can make a difference in the care and treatment of all patients. #Sjögrens 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…

I've been in practice since '96, & it's still hard for me to get my head around just how much trauma stems from chronic illness- Especially when it happens in childhood, & Especially when the illness isn't well understood.
