A Body Out of Balance: Understanding and Treating Sjogren's Syndrome Paperback - 2003 - 1st Edition
by Nancy Carteron; Ruth Fremes
A patient and a doctor offer a unique and authoritative perspective on recognizing and treating Sjogren's Syndrome, a pervasive illness that affects four million people--primarily women--in the United States alone.
Summary
One of the most common yet underrecognized autoimmune and rheumatological disorders. Sjögren's (pronounced SHOW-grens) syndrome, or SjS, affects more people than rheumatoid arthritis and lupus combined. Difficult to diagnose, SjS is characterized by symptoms that shift almost daily, usually beginning with vague discomforts such as dry eyes and dry mouth, then advancing to more severe concerns such as joint pain and swollen glands. A Body Out of Balance provides a comprehensive guide to the wide array of symptoms, traditional and complementary treatments, and invaluable coping methods, so patients may devise a personal treatment plan. Co written by a woman living with the disease and by a physician who has treated countless SjS patients, this indispensable resource will enhance awareness and demystify this often-misunderstood disorder.
First line
It was a Swedish ophthalmologist, Henrik Sjogren (pronounced SHOW-gren), who, along with his ophthalmologist wife, observed that a large number of his patients with chronic arthritis were also suffering with dry eyes and dry mouth.
