You'll Never Think of Sjogren's the Same Again

This 11-minute video from Connected Rheumatology challenges conventional understanding of Sjogren's syndrome by exploring why many patients feel their most debilitating symptoms—like fatigue and chronic pain—are often overlooked by healthcare providers. Discover why Sjogren's is a systemic autoimmune condition affecting the entire body, not just causing dryness symptoms. Learn about diagnostic approaches including antibody tests (SSA and SSB) and lab work, while understanding the limitations of traditional treatments. Explore emerging research suggesting that symptoms like fatigue and pain may be linked to a hypersensitive nervous system, offering new paths to symptom relief. Get practical strategies for managing Sjogren's through anti-inflammatory diets, regular exercise, quality sleep, stress management, and supportive relationships. Presented by Dr. Elizabeth Ortiz, a double board-certified rheumatologist with over 15 years of experience, this video provides valuable insights for anyone seeking to improve their Sjogren's management plan.
