Sjögren's disease is a constant presence causing daily challenges that impact quality of life1-3

The most common symptoms in Sjögren's disease (SjD), including excessive dryness, severe fatigue, and chronic pain, can be debilitating for patients.4

SjD can affect physical, emotional, and social well-being2

Icon-dryness

Dryness symptoms are one of the top reasons patients seek care1

Icon-articular_domain

Up to 75% of patients experience joint pain, which can be debilitating5,6

Icon-dental_decay

Patients who have dental decay report lower quality of life than other patients with SjD3

Fatigue in SjD can be profound and make it difficult to concentrate, and is associated with depression and anxiety7

High systemic disease activity has been associated with reduced quality of life.8

Why symptomatic treatment may not be enough

*Based on the "Living with SjD" survey assessing demographics, symptoms, QoL, cost, and treatment in adult patients with SjD (N=2961).1
 
QoL, quality of life.
