La enfermedad de #Sjögren es la 2ª causa ➕ común de neuropatía autonómica y puede presentarse con una amplia gama de disfunciones autonómicas que van desde 👀 leves hasta insuficiencia autonómica grave. ⬇️

Cristina Montoya RD | Sjögren's Advocate Oh my goodness - yes!! What a terrible comment to make. Dieticians would be so helpful as a team member for people living with chronic disease too (arthritis, chronic pain, fibro). It seems so hard to find access to one and GPs tend not to refer to them I find! Very frustrating.

Sjögren’s is the second most common cause of autonomic neuropathy, and can present with a wide range of autonomic dysfunction ranging from mild dry eyes all the way to severe autonomic failure.

The Mischaracterization of Sjogrens as a mild sicca disease reinforces the continued neglect by research and medical education. Sjogrens is about as prevalent as RA, but under diagnosed, or misdiagnosed. It destroys lives, but is treated as trivial.
