One of the most common yet underrecognized autoimmune and rheumatological disorders. Sjögren's (pronounced SHOW-grens) syndrome, or SjS, affects more people than rheumatoid arthritis and lupus combined. Difficult to diagnose, SjS is characterized by symptoms that shift almost daily, usually beginning with vague discomforts such as dry eyes and dry mouth, then advancing to more severe concerns such as joint pain and swollen glands. A Body Out of Balance provides a comprehensive guide to the wide array of symptoms, traditional and complementary treatments, and invaluable coping methods, so patients may devise a personal treatment plan. Co written by a woman living with the disease and by a physician who has treated countless SjS patients, this indispensable resource will enhance awareness and demystify this often-misunderstood disorder.

I didn't pay attention to what the book was about I didn't pay attention to what the book was about in some of the reviews. It is her story with not much about what people can do with autoimmune disease, new treatments, etc.. Educate yourself about this condition This book was written my a doctor from University of San Francisco California, who specializes in autoimmune disorders. She focuses on Sjogrens Syndrome, and explains in detail what is going on with the body because of this disorder. I have had this condition for many years, and most doctors are not familiar with this condition or if they are do not. "Four Stars" according to Barbara Shryack. Some good info, some I already .knew.
