Surveys of people diagnosed with Sjogrens in middle age find about 1/2 identify symptoms starting in childhood or early adulthood. Sjögrens is not a disease of middle age, it just takes decades to diagnose. We need better tests and treatment.

April is #SjögrensAwarenessMonth
Hot take: Lack of diagnosis in young people says more about the lack of diagnostic criteria than about the prevalence of the disease. Sjogrens is always systemic. #sjogrens

Neurology struggles when there's Neuro damage in "too many places" (localizations) bc they lack the concept of Systemic Neurologic Diseases (that can attack any/everywhere in the nervous system.) And bc patients get partitioned in Neuro subspecialty silos-they cant see big pic.
Sjogren's is not rare, just rarely diagnosed. Often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, RA, IBS, or "FND". People often spend years, sometimes decades, before getting a proper diagnosis. It's a serious systemic disease, never "just sicca". sjogrensadvocate.com/post/why-is-it…

Fatigue impacts 80-90%. It’s not normal tired, but profound & debilitating. I have many other Sjogrens symptoms, but I lost my career because of fatigue. It is biologically based and the top unmet patient need. We need better research and treatments. 🙏 Dr. Ng for your work.

April is Sjogren's (SHOW-grins) awareness month. There are lots of myths about Sjogren's in the medical community & public that are barriers to diagnosis and care. Please help me advocate for Sjogren's by interacting with, commenting on, & sharing my posts. #ThisIsSjögrens
Arthrogram today confirmed torn labrum, which ortho was concerned about. Being the overachiever that I am, I also scored calcific tendinosis rotator cuff tendon, more chronic tendinitis/tendinosis, & partial thickness tearing of supraspinatus & subscapularis. 🥴🤦♀️

Fatigue, often profound, and cognitive dysfunction impact most people with Sjogren's & may have a devastating impact on QOL. Sicca is bad, but I lost my career and ability to do most of the things I love because of these things. These need to be a research priority.

@amadams121 @AutoimmuneList Note: DysAutonomia symptoms started 2006 also, but not noted/addressed for yrs, after numerous syncopal episodes, pulses in 20s. Had to get pacemaker in 2010 for syncope, low BPs/pulse. Didn't know exactly why (not dx'd w/DysA yet) but pulse was 19, so we had to do something.
@amadams121 @AutoimmuneList Delay from symptoms to Dx in #Sjogrens is one of the longest I've seen. Agree, dryness = "hallmark" symptom. First mention of dry eyes was LASIK in 2006, after 2 yrs probs wearing contacts. Sjs wasn't even on the radar until 2015, dx'd in 2017 after + labs. So, 13 yrs for me.
🧵🧵 Recently - Chart note: Reason for visit: To discuss Rx cost. REAL reason for visit: Foot pain, curving toes in setting of RA/Sjogrens. Here to discuss foot orthotics, PT, other tx options. 👉 DEAR PHYSICIANS: GET IT RIGHT. THIS ISN'T HARD. Thanks, Patients everywhere
You know it'll be an interesting day when your 1st patient with #LongCovid is currently in the hospital for #orthostatic hypotension, but is diagnosed with FND by neurology because of some tremor in her hand I really could care less about. 🧐 #DysautonomiaIsNotFND
@Jay63104510 @ThePOTSPostman There is no definitive sjogren’s test. You can have sjogren’s with a negative salivary gland biopsy for a whole bunch of reasons.
Just saw a new neurologist, if anyone is in the NY/Long Island area this guy is great. Spent about an hour with me. Asked me questions no other doctor asked, did exams that no other doctors have done. He is incredibly knowledgeable about dysautonomia. He has me doing blood…

@Milordon82 @reason You can literally google it (Fla. Stat. § 960.293)
This story is bananas. Florida charges people $50 a day for their stay in prison. The state wants this woman to pay $127,000 because she was sentenced to 7 years—even though she only served 10 months. A perfect example of how the gov’t sets people up to fail upon release.
In Florida—and most other states—inmates are charged for the costs of their time in prison. The practice, called "pay-to-stay," leaves many former offenders with staggering debt. reason.com/2024/04/24/she…
Have you tried low dose IL2 for Sjogrens? I'd love to hear your experience if you have. I'll post some Sjogrens IL-2 paper links in next tweets in the event you haven't heard of it. (Pls RT if you are interested in learning if anyone has tried this treatment too. Thx!)
