Afflicting nearly four million Americans, Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that commonly causes dryness of the eyes, mouth, and nose, and that can lead to complications including profound fatigue, depression, and lymphoma. While there is no cure for Sjogren's, much can be done to alleviate the suffering of patients. This extensively revised handbook offers everything you need to know to cope with this disease.
The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook, Third Edition is a comprehensive and authoritative guide, produced by the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation and its medical advisors and edited by physician Daniel J. Wallace, a leading authority on auto-immune disorders. This expanded edition provides readers with the best medical and practical information on this disorder, bringing together the current thinking about Sjogren's in an easily readable and understandable book. The handbook illuminates the major clinical aspects of the syndrome and is loaded with practical tips and advice to assist those seeking information. Indeed, it offers a wide-ranging look at the many faces of Sjogren's, covering diagnosis, the various organ systems that can be affected, the possible psychological problems, and the many treatment options, as well as an appendix listing the resources available for patients with the disease. It is a valuable aid that patients can use while discussing their illness with their physician and an excellent resource for family members. And because Sjogren's is greatly underdiagnosed, this handbook is a particularly valuable resource for healthcare professionals.
The most reliable and informative guide available, The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook, Third Edition is the first place for patients to look when they have questions about this little known but serious chronic disease.

Review

"The definitive resource on Sjogren's Syndrome-comprehensive, evidence-based, and covers the full spectrum from bench to bedside." --John H. Klippel, MD, President and CEO, Arthritis Foundation

"What a wonderful resource. This handbook will be of great value to people with Sjogren's Syndrome, to the clinicians who care for them, and to their family and friends. It addresses complex medical issues and challenging practical issues with equal clarity and thoroughness, and with genuine
concern and compassion." --David Wofsy, MD, President, American College of Rheumatology; George A. Zimmerman Distinguished Professor of Rheumatology, University of California, San Francisco; Chief, Division of Rheumatology, VA Medical Center

"The Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. (LFA) commends Dr. Daniel Wallace for bringing the latest, medically sound information on Sjogren's Syndrome to individuals with the disease, including people with lupus. The revised edition of The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook is a must-read and we
applaud the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation for the quality and excellence of its content." --Sandra C. Raymond, President and CEO, Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Library Journal

The founder of the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation and her physician have updated their Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook (Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation, 1989), resulting in an easy-to-read source of information on this autoimmune disease. Related to lupus, scleroderma, and rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome is an incurable disease of unknown cause, affecting women more often than men. The updated work provides comprehensive information for the recently diagnosed and their families. In addition, healthcare providers unfamiliar with the disease will find the chapters on medical workups and systemic effects useful. The chapters are written by different medical specialists, including physicians, dentists, and pharmacists. Very little nontechnical information on this disease is available elsewhere, recommending this much-needed and well-done update to public and academic libraries.?Elizabeth A. Williams, Houston Acad. of Medicine-Texas Medical Ctr. Lib.

This is a great book to help yourself

I read this through years ago and finally bought a copy when I found myself continuing to use it as reference. This is a great book to help yourself, dr’s and loved ones or anyone. If you have Sjögren’s syndrome or need to help others understand more about it, definitely a good read or reference book to have.

It really helped me understand Sjogren's...

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2003

After being given a diagnosis of Sjogren's Syndrome, I really didn't know what it meant. I searched the internet, but really couldn't find any detailed information, so I hit Amazon to find a couple of books. This one was recommended by the Sjogren's Foundation, and was an excellent choice. I was able to see some detailed information, including a break down of the different symptoms. One negative note - it is very medically oriented, so you may need to read through it a few times.

Need a Medical Degree

I was looking forward to the arrival of this book. I am an intelligent woman with multiple degrees and still was stymied by the format and vocabulary, honestly I felt I needed degrees in biology and chemistry to understand it or a medical degree.

worth the price

this book is an excellent and detailed look at Sjogren's effect on all body systems. The appendix at the back that lists all the products that help you cope with dry eye, dry mouth, etc is worth the price of the book.

I recommend this to anyone who has been diagnosed with Sjogren's. Lot's of practical advice.
