Afflicting nearly four million Americans, Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that commonly causes dryness of the eyes, mouth, and nose, and that can lead to complications including profound fatigue, depression, and lymphoma. While there is no cure for Sjogren's, much can be done to alleviate the suffering of patients. This extensively revised handbook offers everything you need to know to cope with this disease. The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook, Third Edition is a comprehensive and authoritative guide, produced by the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation and its medical advisors and edited by physician Daniel J. Wallace, a leading authority on auto-immune disorders. The handbook illuminates the major clinical aspects of the syndrome and is loaded with practical tips and advice to assist those seeking information. Indeed, it offers a wide-ranging look at the many faces of Sjogren's, covering diagnosis, the various organ systems that can be affected, the possible psychological problems, and the many treatment options, as well as an appendix listing the resources available for patients with the disease. A valuable aid patients can use with their physician and an excellent resource for family members. Because Sjogren's is greatly underdiagnosed, this handbook is a particularly valuable resource for healthcare professionals. Reliable and informative, The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook, Third Edition should be the first place for patients to look when they have questions about this little known but serious chronic disease.

Some of the chapters are complex, with medical jargon that may be difficult for the layperson to understand. However, the book provides a handy resource of information and medications.</p>

Sjogren's syndrome (pronounced show-grins) strikes 2 to 4 million Americans, mostly women. Often a debilitating illness, Sjogren's is not a rare disease--in fact, it is now said to be the most common autoimmune disorder--but it is still little known even in the medical community. Women have
gone from specialist to specialist for years before receiving the proper diagnosis.
The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook is a comprehensive and authoritative guide, produced by the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation and its medical advisors. It has been extensively revised from their original self-published edition, which sold 20,000 copies through their newsletter. Designed for
Sjogren's sufferers and for physicians, it provides readers with the best medical and practical information available on this disorder. The book describes the symptoms, which can range from dry eyes and dry mouth, to hoarseness and difficulty in eating, to chronic fatigue and joint pain that can
seriously impair quality of life. It offers complete information about diagnosis (there are blood tests that can be used to help diagnose Sjogren's), and provides an extensive discussion of how Sjogren's affects the various organ systems of the body, including the kidneys, blood vessels, lungs,
liver, pancreas, and brain. The book also discusses treatment options (such as moisture replacement therapy) and offers tips for daily living.
While there is no cure for Sjogren's, much can be done to alleviate the suffering of individuals with this syndrome. The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook offers everything patients need to know to cope with this disease. And because Sjogren's is greatly under-diagnosed, this handbook is a
particularly valuable resource for all healthcare professionals.
