.@SjogrensOrg joins us at MarketSite for the @NasdaqExchange Closing Bell in recognition of #SjögrensAwarenessMonth.
Since their founding in 1983 to today, their mission has remained in helping patients cope with their Sjögren's, increase awareness, and support research efforts. #ThisIsSjögrens
Congrats! @SjogrensOrg rang the closing bell at NASDAQ just now to bring awareness to #Sjogrens Awareness Month! Sjogren's disease is a systemic autoimmune disease that is underdiagnosed and affects 2-3 million Americans. Good job @janetchurch and all at the Foundation!
Taylor 25: Sjögren's can display as an invisible disease.
I cope with my symptoms by actively advocating for a cure. Sjögren's has taught me that I am a conqueror and together we will conquer Sjögren's. #ThisIsSjögrens#SjögrensAwarenessMonth#Sjögrens

Jacqueline 36: My dry eye symptoms evolved into corneal ulcers and scarring, which has caused me to go blind in one eye. Sjögren's has taught me humility. I have limitations and that's okay.

It's #DysautonomiaAwarenessMonth! Sjogren's is the second most common cause of autonomic neuropathy. If you have chronic dry eyes or dry mouth, and a form of dysautonomia, we encourage you to talk to your doctor about getting screened for Sjogren's syndrome.

Since I was diagnosed with Sjögren’s, I have learned that I am stronger than I thought I was. I have to be! My three most difficult Sjögren’s symptoms are muscle pain, joint pain & fatigue. The pain I experience is sometimes unbearable. #ThisIsSjögrens

Since I was diagnosed with Sjögren’s, I have learned to find my voice. I want to encourage all patients to find their voice. It took me years to find mine. Don’t try to hide your disease – once you own it, you gain all of your power back #ThisIsSjögrens

I wish people understood that even though I don’t look sick, there are days when I can’t function. I rarely talk about how bad I’m feeling because I look “OK.” If you’re living with Sjögren’s, you’re not alone. #ThisIsSjögrens

After being diagnosed, I tried to “suck it up” because I didn't want to be seen as attention-seeking. The only place that ever got me was in the ER. It’s important to educate people about this disease. #ThisIsSjögrens#PediatricSjögrensAwarenessDay

Sjögren’s means I struggle to do what used to be simple tasks. I’ve accepted that my diagnosis isn’t my fault & I must be kind with myself. A lot of people have never heard of Sjögren’s. We need to raise awareness! #ThisIsSjögrens

New Sjögren’s clinical trial locations! A clinical trial provides participants an opportunity to receive potential benefit from a drug, medical device or procedure and the results can make a difference in the care and treatment of all patients. #Sjögrens
