If you've just been diagnosed with Sjogren's "Syndrome", this is the book for you. I went for decades with Sjogren's symptoms and had no answers. It was maddening.
Why did I put "Syndrome" in quotes? Because the medical field knows more now, and it really
is a disease, but the word "syndrome" persists.
And no, these symptoms weren't all in your head.
Very often, when someone is finally diagnosed with Sjogren's Disease, it's been after a long process of looking for answers to a list of medical problems, only to find out the information is either incomplete or too in-depth and clinical.
What if there was something people could pick up and get quick answers to different questions that they have without having to sift through what they don't really want or need to know? A little pamphlet from your doctor doesn't cut it. It needs to be more in-depth than one of those.
What if they could grab it and refer to it whenever they wanted to remember something? The internet isn't that easy - we have to find where we found the information and weed through it to find that one little answer.
I wrote "You Mean it isn't in My Head?" to provide that handy book that's just the right size. Not too little to feel like you didn't get your questions answered, but not so big that you feel like you should be awarded a certificate of completion for reading it. Small enough to grab and find the answer you're looking for, then put it back down.
In this book, you'll learn:
- What's happening in your body and what's at the source of your symptoms.
- What your doctor is thinking about, and why you keep having to have all those blood tests.
- What you are doing that makes it worse, and what you can do to make it better.
- How what you eat, how you feel, and how active you are can influence your Sjogren' symptoms.
- What you can do differently so you can begin to feel better.
- Plus, you'll have a collection of resources beyond this book that can keep you on track with your self-care program.
When you're finished, you will have an overall understanding of this thing called Sjogren's Disease. You will be able to have more educated conversations with your doctor, ask better questions, and get better results from your treatment.
