Book excerpt: One of the most common yet underrecognized autoimmune and rheumatological disorders. Sjögren's (pronounced SHOW-grens) syndrome, or SjS, affects more people than rheumatoid arthritis and lupus combined. Difficult to diagnose, SjS is characterized by symptoms that shift almost daily, usually beginning with vague discomforts such as dry eyes and dry mouth, then advancing to more severe concerns such as joint pain and swollen glands. A Body Out of Balance provides 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. Co written by a woman living with the disease and by a physician who has treated countless SjS patients, this indispensable resource will enhance awareness and demystify this often-misunderstood disorder.

Book excerpt: A heartwarming blend of medical mystery, intimate journal, comic survival guide, and "zenchanted" map to acceptance, this memoir recounts the story of a family's journey within the often-invisible world of autoimmunity. The book leads the reader through the misery and mayhem encountered while one woman attempted to raise three daughters with autoimmune conditions, such as lupus, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroidititis, and spondyloarthritis. It then details what happened when a life-altering, autoimmune disease called Sjogren's Syndrome swooped down to hit her squarely in the eyes as well. Covering topics as diverse as "Identity Theft," "The Doctor-Patient Fit," "Little House of Illness" and "Using Buddhist Philosophy to Deal with Chronic Illness," this book serves as a handbook of sorts for all those who wish to understand the emotions and obstacles encountered in living with chronic illness and provides a strategy for coping for the 50 million Americans who are currently living with autoimmune diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sjögren's syndrome, pronounced "show-grins," stands as the second most prevalent autoimmune disease, trailing only rheumatoid arthritis. This condition does not discriminate, affecting individuals of all sexes and races, spanning a wide age range from children to the elderly. With an estimated 2 to 4 million people in the U.S. grappling with this autoimmune disorder, the majority being women, it poses a substantial health concern. This chronic illness involves the immune system turning against the body's moisture-producing glands, leading to a cascade of symptoms. Unfortunately, many sufferers endure a prolonged diagnostic journey, seeking answers from various specialists before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Beyond the hallmark dry eyes and dry mouth, Sjögren's syndrome manifests as dryness in the skin, nose, and vagina. Moreover, its impact extends beyond the superficial, potentially affecting vital organs such as the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, lungs, liver, pancreas, and the central nervous system. This concise guide provides the latest medical insights into Sjögren's syndrome, offering a comprehensive understanding of the disorder and its diagnostic processes. Empowering readers, it emphasizes self-advocacy within the healthcare system and encourages collaboration with physicians to coordinate essential medical care. Additionally, the book equips individuals with effective strategies for symptom management, pain alleviation, and psychological coping mechanisms tailored to the challenges posed by Sjögren's syndrome.
