Sjögren Syndrome is an autoimmune systemic disease.
Sjögren syndrome is a clinical triad of dry eyes, dry mouth and arthritis.
Sicca syndrome is dry eyes, and dry mouth, but NO arthritis.
Symptoms of Sjögren (Sjogren) syndrome include dry eyes (xeroophthalmia), dry mouth (xerostomia), arthritis, dry skin (xerosis cutis), dry vagina, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), autoimmune thyroiditis, monoclonal gammopathy, lymphoma (usually marginal zone lymphoma, aka MALToma which is a B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma).
Sjögren Syndrome affects the minor salivary glands, the lacrimal glands, the lymph nodes, the thyroid glands, the vaginal lubrication glands, the sebaceous glands,...etc.
Sjögren syndrome serum antibodies include anti-SS-A (Anti-Ro) and Anti-SS-B (anti-La).
Sjögren Syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies that attack the salivary glands (causing dry mouth or xerostomia), the lacrimal glands (causing dry eyes aka xerophthalmia or keratoconjunctivitis Sicca), and the joints (causing an inflammatory arthritis).

I just got diagnosed with this shit, and it's mildly infuriating that it took years to get a diagnosis. I had so many doctors I saw tell me "maybe lose weight and you'll stop feeling this way and all your symptoms will go away" instead of just ordering the test. it's one of the reasons I'm in medical school, well pre-med right now, so that somebody else doesn't have to deal with that same thing and get some actual answers.

Lmfao, if you are a mediocre student you'll memorize the triad and if you are a superb medical student you will memorize the octagon. I feel low-key manipulated. We move regardless. Thank you so much for these amazing videos. Enjoying them all the way from South Africa.
