Tara from Alberta asks: I am looking for information on both Sjogren’s Syndrome and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Is there more information available on them?
We have information on our website on Sjogren’s and Rheumatoid Arthritis, and videos on specific items on both on our YouTube page. Having the symptoms of both of these conditions is not uncommon. A significant minority of individuals with RA have secondary Sjogren’s syndrome, and of course, Sjogren’s syndrome itself can cause an inflammatory arthritis similar to rheumatoid arthritis. Fortunately, there is also overlap in the treatment options for a number of the symptoms of these conditions. Working with your rheumatologist, significant improvement in symptoms should be achievable.
