Lupus and The Sjögren’s Society of Canada

Today on the podcast we have a very special guest – Mary McNeil joins us to speak about Sjogren’s disease (www.sjogrenscanada.org).

Sjögren’s is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory autoimmune disease that usually attacks and damages salivary, tear and mucous secreting glands. This results in dry mouth which can impact the ability to communicate verbally, dry eyes, or even internal organ damage, arthritis, painful weak muscles, neuropathy, and debilitating fatigue.

Lupus patients often have associated illnesses, Sjogren’s is among the most common experienced by those with systemic lupus with some estimates indicating up to 19% of those with SLE also develop Sjogren’s disease.

Like lupus, Sjogren’s is difficult to diagnose and 90% of those diagnosed are women.

Mary McNeil is the Vice Preside of the Sjogren’s Society of Canada and also lives with Sjogren’s disease.
