Hello everyone. I have been recently diagnosed with SS. I was diagnosed via blood test through my GP and i now see a specialist in glengary who deals with this. Im on medication to slow down the progression of the disease. Im a little lost with a few things and would like to know if there is a support group here in Perth. If not is anyone interested in starting one up? :-)

Hi Kellina, I am very interested in the medication to slow down the progression of SS. I was diagnosed a few years ago at 70 and I would like to remain at this early stage so I can try to enjoy my old age a little better. I hope you succeed in finding a support group in Perth. I did not know anyone who has SS until I found fellow sufferers on this community site. I wish you all the best. Googs
