Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

The founder of the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation and her physician have updated their Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook (Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation, 1989), resulting in an easy-to-read source of information on this autoimmune disease. Related to lupus, scleroderma, and rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome is an incurable disease of unknown cause, affecting women more often than men. The updated work provides comprehensive information for the recently diagnosed and their families. In addition, healthcare providers unfamiliar with the disease will find the chapters on medical workups and systemic effects useful. The chapters are written by different medical specialists, including physicians, dentists, and pharmacists. Very little nontechnical information on this disease is available elsewhere, recommending this much-needed and well-done update to public and academic libraries.?Elizabeth A. Williams, Houston Acad. of Medicine-Texas Medical Ctr. Lib.

"What a wonderful resource. This handbook will be of great value to people with Sjogren's Syndrome, to the clinicians who care for them, and to their family and friends. It addresses complex medical issues and challenging practical issues with equal clarity and thoroughness, and with genuine concern and compassion." --David Wofsy, MD, President, American College of Rheumatology; George A.

"The Lupus Foundation of America, Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book for patients with Primary and Secondary Sjogrens Syndrome, May 30 2010

This review is from: The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook (Hardcover)
This book was delivered as promised via Amazon.com. It tells me everything I need to know about Sjogren's and other Autoimmune Rheumatic diseases and more, and gave me much more appreciation for my Rheumatologists Doctors Philip Sedrish and Marielisa Sedrish at Gulfcoast Rheumatology at Slidell Memorial Hospital. They have been doing everything like clock work with me and I have been a very trying case for especially for Dr Philip Sedrish. These doctors are definitely experts in Rheumatology and all the other Auto-Immune Neuromuscular and Skin Diseases such as (RA, PM, DM, IBM, Sjogrens, Scleroderma, Lupus, ALS, etc...) that go along with their specialty. They referred me to the best specialists: Dermatology - Dr Eric Tabor; Cardiology - Dr Ignatius Thomas; Pulmonology - Doctor Dennis Dale and Doctor Janine Parker; Opthamology- Dr David Slagle; Gastroenternology - Dr Anthony Albright. These doctors all work well with each other and me to address all my symptoms associated with Dermatomyositis, Sjogrens, and Psoriasis. Thanks to these doctors, I have not had to drive 100 miles a trip to the MDA Clinic at Children'sHospital in New Orleans or even further as may others end up doing.

Thank you to the authors of this book and my friends from The Myositis Association, Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis forum.

I recommend this book to anyone diagnosed with a Auto-Immune Disease and associated Cancer.

This review is from: The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook (Hardcover)
Well, i have a medical professionnal background and i find it very scientific, maybe too much for the general population; they talk about the tests results ( lab datas the numbers that shows that a person is healthy or not) , the ADN with all the scientific details and more complicated details like that , so from my point of view , anyone can get lost easily , not to say that most probably it will end up in the bookshelves after reading a couple pages. That's why i think that you should have certain educations in any medical studies or have already readed a lot on the auto-immune diseases to fully appreciated that book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read for those with Sjogren's Syndrome, April 11 2004

This review is from: The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook (Hardcover)
This is one of the best books out there on Sjogren's Syndrome. When I was first diagnosed with the illness I had never even heard of it...and this book helped me tremendously to understand my condition. Because Sjogren's Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that can affect many different parts of the body, it can be very difficult to live with...however, this book goes into detail about every possible manifestation of the disease and how to cope with them. It's very comprehensive and very scientific at times, but well worth the read.
