title: Sjogren's syndrome?
abstract: Dry eyes and mouth are just two of the many symptoms that can develop as a result of this common but little-known autoimmune disease that gradually destroys the exocrine glands. Because the effects are so far-reaching, it's important to familiarize yourself with diagnostic and treatment options as well as the special care needs of these patients.
