Sjorgens

[Bakbre]

Hi there

Can anybody out there tell me how I pronounce Sjorgens please, as I can spell it but how you say it is another matter!

Thanks everyone

Sorry to nitpick but it’s spelt a bit differently too (I’m so fussy I know!!!). It was named after the chap who discovered it - Henrik Sjögren - so it’s spelt Sjögren’s Syndrome - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hen...

You don’t need the dotty Swedish thing but I copied and pasted it for my iPhone spellcheck a few times so it always comes out the correct way by itself now. It’s not as hard to spell or pronounce as Ankylosing Spondylits or spondyloarthritis or Psoriatic Arthritis (pardon to any sufferers if I have spelt these wrong!). I guess I was so relieved to have a correct diagnosis finally after years with misdiagnosed RA that I decided to train my iPhone to learn it too!!

I am not that bothered about the spelling, I just needed to know how to say it, I obviously aren't as fussy as you!!

Thanks for replying though.

You’ve made me smile Twitchy as all those are my diagnosis lol. It’s a nightmare when every h&s check or disciplinary I get for sick leave I have to write all 4 conditions as nobody can spell them lol xxx
