Please join me in my efforts to support the Sjögren's Foundation!
Together we can make a difference and impact the future of Sjogren's!
My recognizable Sjogren’s journey started in 2000 when my eyes got severely dry while travelling by car. During the initial stages of my journey, I also experienced severe fatigue, 10 trigger fingers, and other joint pain. My entire body soon became dry, with my eyes, mouth and nose being the most notable dry areas. I retired from my research career, partly because I did not have the energy to continue it.
I was very lucky to have the continued support of my husband and daughter during this time. Members of the local Sjogren’s Syndrome Foundation support group and all of my wonderful health providers also gave me much needed support
Twenty-four years later, I am happy to report that with major dietary changes, lifestyle changes and medication, I can manage my symptoms pretty well. I am not in severe discomfort most of the time. I am able to engage in meaningful volunteer work, exercise and enjoy time with my family.
Please support me in helping to reach my goal by making a donation to me as an individual participant today. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure and is the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts!
Thank you in advance for your support!
