Editorial Reviews for The Sjogren's Syndrome Survival Guide
|
Sjogren's syndrome, currently the most prevalent autoimmune disorder in America, is disease in which the body mistakenly attacks its own moisture-producing glands in the eyes, mouth, skin, and vagina, disrupting the function of the internal organs and central nervous system. Written by two Sjogren's sufferers, this book provides medical information, research results, treatment methods, and suggestions for coping with this often debilitating disease.

Summary: Not a good source for treatment options...
Comment: I was recently diagnosed with Sjogrens and have now read most of the books out there. This one, while good with the emotional issues of dealing with a chronic illness, is severely lacking if you are looking for treatment options. Yes, it provides the standard treatments for dry eyes and dry mouth (as do pretty much all of the sources out there) but if you have any additional manifestations whatsoever (especially extraglandular issues) you will find no help here. Yes, it does tell you that Sjogrens can affect your lungs, for example, but it goes no further than that (no treatments to pursue, no suggestions whatsoever). There are much better books for your money (for the most comprehensive quick-read try Positive Options for Sjogrens Syndrome by Sue Dyson).

Summary: Basic Information
Comment: This is a good book for readers who need basic information about Sjogren's Syndrome. For those who have read the information on Internet sites such as Johns Hopkins, NIH, and Mayo Clinic, there isn't much more to add to that free medical information. This book does have useful information about dealing with the emotional consequences of Sjogrens that those sites don't offer, and it may be helpful for those who seek guidance in that area. The type face is fairly large and easy read, so great for senior readers. I thought much of the self help advice to be basic common sense and things the Dr has already suggested. There is a resource section with useful addresses, but as the book is now 5 years old, the addresses and phone numbers may need updating.

Summary: A Must for All Sjogren's Patients
Comment: This book is the perfect companion for dealing , day to day, with this perplexing disease. There are so many different symptoms, and they combine in such a varied degree that most of us feel at a loss as to what to do. This book will become your constant reference companion, giving you information and ideas that, often, not even your Dr. can supply.
