Sjogren's Support Groups
Support groups are a wonderful way to help your mental health when you are dealing with a chronic illness.
I found that finding people who understand the day to day struggle of dealing with chronic illness instrumental to my healing.
In addition to that, I also learned quite a lot about the disease, things I didn't have the opportunity to learn directly from my doctor.
Lastly, I was able to find recommendations for new treatments and products through these support groups.
I highly recommend finding a support group in your area; and if they don't have one, consider setting one up. Support your community, and they'll support you.
