A member asked:
Does sjogrens syndrome come in flares like lupus? what is easier to control-lupus that affects organs or sjogrens that affects organs ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Sjogren's can have flares just like sle and there is frequently overlap between the two. Neither is desirable when organ involvement occurs since these are very difficult to treat or reverse.
