Is it easy to diagnose Sjögrens syndrome?
Sjögren’s syndrome often is undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. The symptoms of Sjögren’s syndrome may overlap or “mimic” those of other diseases including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibro myalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple sclerosis. Because all symptoms are not always present at the same time and Sjögren’s can involve several body systems, physicians and dentists sometimes treat each symptom individually and do not recognize that a systemic disease is present.
