Positive Options for Sjögren's Syndrome: Self-Help and Treatment

by Sue Dyson

Sjögren’s (pronounced “show-grins”) syndrome, the most common autoimmune disease after rheumatoid arthritis, can affect both sexes and all races and strike any age from children to the elderly. In Sjogren's Syndrome, the body's immune system attacks its own moisture-producing glands. This book, written by a woman who has Sjögren’s, presents and evaluates a full range of treatment options, conventional and alternative, providing unbiased assessments of their possible benefits and side-effects. Author Sue Dyson discusses everything from how Sjögren’s affects the body to exercise, pregnancy, and relationships.

Informative for people who are newly diagnosed. It is a good lead-in for more in-depth books about this condition

Easy to read and straightforward- very helpful to someone newly diagnosed

[Denise · Rating 3 out of 5]

This would be a good little book for someone newly diagnosed who is just starting to learn about the disease. I didn't learn much that I hadn't already discovered via my own previous research.

A good little book. I found it mostly useful during the diagnosis phase.
