will i die from sjgrens syndrome?

Accepted Answer

No: Sjogren's does give you a somewhat increased risk of malignant lymphoma, and it may run with a disease like lupus or scleroderma which you'd know by now whether or not you have.  By itself, sjogren's is a nuisance disease.  The most dangerous feature is that maybe 1% of patients get a vasculitis that can cause brain dysfunction that mimics multiple sclerosis.  Be alert as it's manageable.
