Sjogren syndrome‏

Guess what I got tested for? Of course, I didn't have this but they tested me--dry eyes, dry mouth, dry skin and aching joints. I think that I look like $$ to the doctor. Maybe that is what happens as you get older. The doctors start to think that you must have something. . .

Sjogren syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which the glands that produce tears and saliva are destroyed. This leads to dry mouth, decreased tearing, and other dry mucous membranes. The condition may affect many different parts of the body, including the kidneys and lungs.

Symptoms:
Dryness of the mouth and eyes are the most common symptoms of this syndrome.
