Did you know?
Sjögren's disease was named after Swedish ophthalmologist Dr. Henrik Sjögren, who first described the connection between dry eyes, dry mouth, fatigue, and arthritis in 1933.

Today, Sjögren's remains one of the most common autoimmune diseases, yet awareness and timely diagnosis are still challenges for many patients.
