It is common for people to have Sjogrens 6 to 8 years before it is diagnosed.

Sjogrens affects the digestive system first so you need to take a digestive enzyme with each meal, it affects the parasympathetic nervous system the capillaries and the connective tissue in the body which is in all our organs including the skin which is the largest organ in the body.
