Though Sj#xF6;gren's syndrome affects one in 70 Americans, the disease remains largely misunderstood and often misdiagnosed. This autoimmune disease is marked by dryness of the eyes, nose, and mouth and affects the full musculoskeletal system. The Sj#xF6;gren's Syndrome Handbook is the premier resource guide on the disease and covers the spectrum of Sj#xF6;gren's issues that confront patients, family members, and health care providers alike. Like its predecessors, this edition of the Handbook is designed not only to provide factual knowledge but to encourage communication with the medical health care team regarding Sj#xF6;gren's symptoms. The book contains 39 chapters covering the symptoms of the disease, its specific effects on various systems throughout the body, and symptom management. This edition also contains a new section on lifestyle issues aimed at improving the quality of life for Sj#xF6;gren's sufferers. This book has been written and edited by the Sj#xF6;gren's Syndrome Foundation and leading physician, Daniel J. Wallace. It is designed to be accessible and informative and will be of interest to patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers alike.
