The glands that are responsible for producing tears (the lacrimal glands) and saliva (the salivary glands) are the primary targets of the immune system's attacks, which inhibit the glands' capacity to release the relevant fluids. This can result in several issues, including dry eyes, a dry mouth, difficulty speaking, and an increased risk of tooth decay and infections. Additionally, this can make it more difficult to talk.
Pain in the joints, rashes on the skin, and general fatigue are some of the additional symptoms that may be brought on by the immune system's attack on other organs and tissues in certain people. Lymphoma can occur in a very tiny percentage of individuals who have Sjogren's Syndrome.
This can happen anywhere from a few years to a few decades after the initial diagnosis. After the onset of Sjogren's Syndrome, additional autoimmune disorders can manifest themselves. In total, almost half of all people who have Sjogren's Syndrome also have another type of autoimmune condition.
There is no cure for Sjögren syndrome, but there are treatments that can help relieve the symptoms. One treatment option is to focus on managing the condition through diet.
