A Body Out of Balance: Understanding and Treating Sjogren's Syndrome

This book was written my a doctor from University of San Francisco California, who specializes in autoimmune disorders. She focuses on Sjogrens Syndrome, and explains in detail what is going on with the body because of this disorder. I have had this condition for many years, and most doctors are not familiar with this condition or if they are do not seem to have the time or patience to explain to you what is happening in your body. I believe a patient should be well informed and partner with their doctors to make well informed choices on their care, and clearly understand what power they have to correct what they can and use what the medical community has to offer. I learned alot from reading this book, and now understand much more clearly why different things are happening. This is a frightening condition, if you do not educate yourself on why this is happening. You do not need medical school to understand this easy to read book. I definitely recommend anyone suffering with Sjogrens or any other Autoimmune disease read this book. It absolutely helped me understand this mystery disease, and helped me to make educated choices in the treatment I received.

This book was written several years ago but it’s loaded with so much information. As a new Sjogren patient I dug into it and learned so much. Highly recommend.

Book came timely. Thought I had this in my 20s, when Lasix eye surgeon commented on my dry eyes and dentist later noted mapping on my tongue. I'm in my 40s still no diagnosis but have many many of symptoms listed in the book. Was looking for a supplement recommendations. But none given just eyes drops & humidifier. So searched my own for supplements & found apricot seeds, sodium bicarb, essiac tea & mistletoe to regulate the immune system. wish me luck & blessings to you as well.

This is a must have book if you have Sjogren’s. It would also be helpful for other auto-immune diseases. It answered a lot of questions for me and helped me talk to my Dr. about things that I frankly felt were either not important or just too strange to be related. Made a difference in my quality of life.

This is a basic book. I do wish it had offered more information about related autoimmune diseases that one might have in combination with Sjogren's syndrom. I also wish it went into more detail about how this condition can effect other organs like the lungs and liver.

This book had lots of things I didn't know about and also gave me ideas on what to ask my doctor. I think would be helpful for family members to read.

Patient stories throughout which were relatable to me. Good information about tests, symptoms, overlapping with information from a doctor and patients. It was easier to read and gave great basic tips for folks still seeking answers in a format which was printable to share on a first visit.

If you have dry eyes, dry mouth, unknown arthritis type pain in your muscles and joints, unexplained fatigue, brain fog, read this book! You might have Sjogren's Syndrome. Venus Williams recently brought it more the forefront when she announced she has it. This autoimmune disease is actually surprisingly common and 9 out of 10 people who have it are women.
