April Awareness Day 29 - Jd
I may look normal on the outside, but my body is fighting every day. Sjögren’s is an invisible illness that attacks every part of my body. It’s not just dry mouth & eyes. It’s a full-time job managing debilitating symptoms. So, I never know what my day will look like. When you see me, just know it took a lot for me to show up. When I get home, recovery is a different story.
Self-care is a must. It has become a lifestyle and a daily choice. Every day looks different. Whatever my body & spirit needs, I prioritize that.
If you want to pour yourself onto others & the things you love, you have to fill your cup

The Sjögren's Foundation began with the sharing of stories, and now, 40 years later, we are still working to keep the spirit of national awareness alive with our #ThisIsSjögrens campaign.
Every day in April, we will highlight a different patient and show a glimpse into their life with Sjögren's. This year, we will also use this campaign to give a unique "patient to patient" viewpoint and dive deeper into various Sjögren's topics with advice directly from other patients. We hope these stories will help create a better understanding of this complex disease and let all patients know that there is support through this community.
Please help us celebrate 40 years by filling out the form below and sharing your story!! 30 stories will be featured in this year's April campaign, and all stories submitted are eligible to be featured by the Foundation. We will be collecting stories all through April 2024.
