Living With Sjogren's
Patients living with Sjogren's can find comfort
in knowing there are others with the disease.
Many patients feel they learn the most from one
another in support groups. The Philadelphia-area
support group is based here at Penn Presbyterian.
Living with Sjogren's symptoms like dry eyes
and dry mouth can be difficult, but these symptoms
are manageable with the use of over-the counter
products such as preservative-free artificial
tears, artificial salivas, unscented skin lotions
and saline nasal sprays. (You should always consult
your doctor when using these products.) In addition,
recipes that promote saliva flow will help in
the treatment of dry mouth.
