4. Dry Lips
Sjogren’s Syndrome is a disease that primarily affects the body’s salivary glands and system – so the first and most certain sign that you have Sjogren’s is the constant feeling of a dry mouth and eyes: And the moisture content of your eyes and mouth is one of the ways that doctors test for the syndrome in the first place.
If you suspect that you might be suffering from Sjogren’s, take this list along to your doctor and tell them which of the symptoms you are experiencing so far; you might be surprised to find that your doctor can finally point you in the direction of some very well needed relief for your condition. Along with a dry mouth, you can also expect dry lips and a dry throat as part of the condition: For this, your best bet is to keep some kind of lip moisturizer on you at all times to find some relief for the symptoms.
