The Sjogrens Foundation is an organization I’ve joined to raise awareness and further research for Sjogrens disease.
As a Sjogrens warrior, I’ve been on the search for a foundation I can get behind. This foundation has surpassed their 5 year breakthrough goal to shorten the diagnosis time by 50%. It now takes an average of 2.8 years to receive a proper diagnosis, down from the average 6 years! This alone can help a Sjogrens patient immensely. I am so optimistic about the future achievements to be made in conquering the complexities of Sjogrens Disease.
