What Is Sjogren’s Syndrome?

Sjogren’s Syndrome is a chronic and incurable disorder of the autoimmune system in the body, wherein the exocrine glands of the person afflicted with the disease come under attack by the body’s own immune cells, causing them to malfunction and cease their production of saliva and tears. These exocrine glands are moisture-producing glands, and are responsible for producing tears and saliva. If attacked by this autoimmune system disease, then the person experiencing the condition will experience dryness of the mouth and eyes.

Basically, our immune systems actually work by protecting our bodies from harmful invading cells or organisms, such as bacteria and viruses. What our autoimmune cells basically do is destroy these harmful invading organisms in order to prevent them from doing any damage.

However, a person experiencing Sjogren’s Syndrome will actually have his own immune cells attack his own exocrine glands, thereby causing damage on those glands, preventing them from functioning properly. There is a change that occurs in a Sjogren’s Syndrome afflicted person’s immune system, causing the subject to lose the usual controls that his body has on his immune cells, causing white blood cells to invade and destroy the moisture producing glands in the body. As a result, the person will have difficulty producing tears and saliva, as he was normally able to do prior to the disease.
