Sjögren's is a chronic autoimmune disease in which a person’s white blood cells attack their mois

Sjögren’s is a chronic, systemic, inflamatory autoimmune disease that usually attacks and damages the salivary, tear and mucous-secreting glands. This results in dry mouth, dry eyes, or even internal organ damage, arthritis, neuropathy, and debilitating fatigue. An estimated 1% of Canadians, 90% of whom are women, live with Sjögren’s yet it is often misdiagnosed, underrecognized, under-treated.

Did you know?
Sjögren's disease was named after Swedish ophthalmologist Dr. Henrik Sjögren, who first described the connection between dry eyes, dry mouth, fatigue, and arthritis in 1933.

Today, Sjögren's remains one of the most common autoimmune diseases, yet awareness and timely diagnosis are still challenges for many patients.
