I would like to know if there is a link between Sjogrens Syndrome and MD. I was diagnoised almost 2 years ago, at age 55, with Sjogrens. Now within a month of my 57th birthday I have been diagnoised with MD and Osteoarthritis.
Thank you,
Sandra Klem

Sear Sandra,
Blurred vision occurs with MD, as it does with Sjogrens Syndrome, but it is caused by retinal problems rather than lack of moisture. Other than this symptom, there is no link between the two conditions.
I'm sorry that you now have to deal with both, but there is help from the MD Internet Community at the link below. I hope you will visit our web site for the many resources it offers.
Best regards,
Dan Roberts, Director
