A patient and a doctor offer a unique and authoritative perspective on recognizing and treating this pervasive illness
that affects 4 million people-primarily women-in the United States alone.
One of the most common yet underrecognized autoimmune and rheumatological disorders,
Sjogren's (pronounced SHOW-grens) Syndrome, or SjS, is characterized by symptoms that
shift almost daily, usually beginning with vague discomforts such as dry eyes and mouth,
then advancing to more severe concerns such as joint pain and swollen glands. Because SjS
can manifest itself differently in each patient, A Body Out of Balance provides readers
with a comprehensive guide to the wide array of symptoms, traditional and complementary
treatments,and invaluable coping methods so patients may devise a personal treatment plan.
