What is Sjogren’s Syndrome?

When you have Sjogren’s Syndrome symptoms, your eyes and mouth, and other parts of your body dry up. There are treatments that bring relief. It is only natural to worry when you know you have a disease for a lifetime. Keep in mind that most people with Sjogren are healthy and have no serious problems. You should be able to continue to do all the things you want to do without making any changes.

Instead of invading Sjogren’s bacteria or viruses, your immune system causes straws and attacks healthy cells. These conditions are called autoimmune diseases. Your white blood cells, which usually protect you from germs, attack the glands responsible for producing moisture. When that happens, they cannot produce tears and salts.

Dry eyes and dry mouth are normal of Sjogren’s Syndrome symptoms. You may have problems with other parts of your body, such as swollen glands, dry skin or nasal passages, or painful and tight joints on your face and neck. About half of Sjogren’s disease is another autoimmune disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

You need to take medication for a lifetime to control your symptoms. You can buy it at some kind of drug store without a prescription like drops that keep your eyes moist. Your doctor may prescribe other drugs that increase the salt content in your mouth.

Reasons

Doctors do not know the exact cause. You may have genes at risk. Infection of a bacterium or virus can be a trigger for moving the disease. For example, let’s say you have a Sjogren’s linked defective gene, and then you have an infection. Your immune system is functioning. White blood cells usually lead to an attack on germs. But your faulty gene, your white blood cells target the salivary and tear-producing glands. There is no setback in the fight, so if you do not seek treatment, your symptoms will continue.

Treatment

For example, drops called “artificial tears” can prevent your eyes from drying out. You will need to use them regularly throughout the day. There is also a gel that you put on your eyes at night.
