What can you tell me about sjogren's syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A LOT!: Sjogren's is an autoimmune disease affecting "water" secretory glands, such as salivary glands, tear ducts, but even sweat glands, and mucous producing glands found in the vagina, chest, colon, etc. In most people it causes few serious problems, but they can occur. Most patients are SS-A and/or SS-B positive, but Sjogren's can secondarily be part of lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
