I had a pre-existing neurological disorder before I got diagnosed with Sjogrens. I’ve dealt with pain and fatigue for years already but this fatigue is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I hate watching television and I’m not very good at doing nothing. I do my best to take 2 - 20 minute stationary bike rides early every morning. Then I just try my best to get moving and try to as much done as I can. When I’m completely exhausted, I give in and I close my eyes for 45 minutes to an hour. Then I force myself to get moving again. Some days are better than others but I accept what life throws at me. I’d love to sit down and cry but I already know that doesn’t work. For me, attitude is everything.

Please put up on your FB site more about immunosuppressants. This has been suggested to me with extended symptoms. No one truely understands what we go through when it attacks the body.

Great information, if everything goes well this should do the job. But listen, there's one factor that's usually overlooked that can considerably speed up the process, unfortunately I do not have it at hand, but it can be go’ogled Dobbie Nerkstrol's Infertility Cure, I think.

The medical and pharmaceutical community is poisoning the minds of people! " The body is mistakenly attacking it own protective system....", " the little white blood cells enter into these flued...". Lies! Lies! In an arson the firefighters risk their lives to save lives and properties but unfortunately couldn't, who should be blamed, the firefighters or the arsonist? The immune system is like the firefighters then why blaming the immune system for the uncontrollably information of the body that they didn't cause but only tried to stop ? All diseases are manually inflicted from believing and living a lie. All diseases can be healed if we stop believing lies about the immune system and take responsibility for the intoxication of our bodies. Who is the real arsonist?

I was recently diagnosed with Sjogren’s and appreciate videos like this. Serious athlete my whole life until recently felt horrible fatigue and my legs felt like numb bricks that couldn’t move anymore. I too got the eye swab test as the first indication I had this. Please be your own best advocate with your team of doctors!!!!

I was diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome by my rheumatologist at age 35 in August of 2023. But its no telling how long I've had the disease and was unaware. I currently take daily eyedrops for my dry eyes, and Hydroxychloroquine for overall symptoms and recently I was diagnosed with Inflammatory arthritis in relation to my Sjogren's and I take a steriod methyalprednisone for my arthritis pain. Its been a crazy year dealing with this new illness and having issues like immediate memory loss often, chronic fatigue that never goes away no matter how much rest and sleep I get, the dry eyes can be very irritating and sometimes painful when they become dry, red and irritated. And lastly I don’t well in heat, I passed out multiple times last summer in weather that wasn't that hot at all. This disease has also affected my mobility. I went and purchased a cane, then a rollator walker, because when my knees are hurting because of my Inflammatory arthritis, or I am extremely weak from the fatigue I have to use my mobility aid to help me walk. Never thought I would ever be using a walker in my mid thirties but yet here I am. And worst of all I can no longer work because I'm too sick. I hope in the future to get disability income, but this last year I waited almost two years, had a hearing with a judge and still was flat out denied. I really don't know what to do for income at this point. I just hope I don't end up homeless because of this illness. Its not like the US government gives a care about the disabled anyway. But yeah its been a rough year for me dealing with this disease. Sorry my comment was so long, blunt and unhappy...

That guy obviously had no idea what real severe fatigue is 🙄 it's not oh I'm tired fatigue, it's a you wake up with zero energy, do not get energy from caffeine, do jot get any energy or fuel from eating food. It's complete severe exhaustion with no energy from any source. It's like putting gas in a car, a new battery and new parts and the car still won't run at all. No one knows why. Exercise 🤣😂🤣😂 wow he's clueless!! It doesn't work. He needs to experience Sjogren's himself.

It’s unreal to have the fatigue, neuropathy pain , that’s also extremely painful in my fingers , l often ask God how can a human being feel so bad and still be living, he says l am carrying you through this time and l will never forsake you Thank You Jesus 🙏🙏🙏l am not alone , l can do a little today , and l hope that tomorrow l can get my doctor to help me, with all this pain not everyone are dope addicts l am 76 years old how many days do l have on this earth ? Doctors need to understand their patients more , Dear Jesus Christ please help Doctors to help the people that are elderly especially, who are not looking to get high , but just wanting some relief from their chronic pain ( more education on Sjögrens and other devastating autoimmune disorders, information on autonomic disorders “ peripheral neuropathy they need to realize that most illnesses derived from the Central Nervous System 🙏🇺🇸🙏

For 14 years before my diagnosis of Sjögren’s, I thought I was just weak, that I couldn’t handle everyday pain or common illnesses. So I felt validated. But it also helped me paradoxically to see that oh thank goodness this isn’t how everybody feels.

I am a gardener. I have a seven bed garden, I grow vegetables I can them I cook, I do a lot. I also have a really disabled spine. I push myself. The only meds are three opiates a day. If I didn't have that, I would not be able to do the things I do. Right now I'm going through a flare and I have been diagnosed with Sjogren's for about 20 years now. I'm 64.

You're lucky to have pain meds. Most can't get them anymore. Because they took mine away, I stopped being able to exercise and function properly. Now I'm in an electric wheelchair which would could have been avoided! My back and legs are so damaged they will never improve according to doctors. This is the fault of the CDC and DEA.

Thank you so much, Venus, for your uplifting words. I too suffer from a debilitating autoimmune disease (myalgic encephalomyelitis) that keeps me bed bound for most of the time. I used to play tennis, but can't anymore. I have always loved watching you and your sister on the court. You are both such major inspirations - but particularly you in terms of how you manage your disease. Many greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark ❤🙏❤
