April Awareness Day 30 - Michelle
The initial Sjögren's diagnosis was overwhelming. Rampant symptoms left me feeling my worst, battling fear, anxiety, and depression. But with the help of exceptional doctors, consistent follow-ups, and dedicated research, I've gained control of my symptoms and reclaimed a relatively normal life.
It's a continuous challenge, each day presenting new experiences. However, with the unwavering support of loved ones, a fantastic medical team, and invaluable support groups, I navigate this journey one day at a time. With the right support system and a proactive approach, you can take control of your condition and reclaim your life, one day at a time. There is hope, and you are not alone.
Share Your Story
The Sjögren's Foundation began with the sharing of stories, and now, 40 years later, we are still working to keep the spirit of national awareness alive with our #ThisIsSjögrens campaign. Every day in April, we highlighted a different patient and show a glimpse into their life with Sjögren's. We hope these stories will help create a better understanding of this complex disease and let all patients know that there is support through this community.
