Does any one know any thing about Syrons Syndrome

[sqad617]

Never heard of it.

Wait a minute.....do you mean Sjorgren's Syndrome....if that is the case then, yes I have.

Not sure if Sjrons is related to Lupus or not

[another-view]

Yes Therema, they are cousins.

Google's a wonderful thing between AB and google ive never been so educated lol glad i got it right

laughing girl...if you mean Sjogren's Syndrome, which I am sure that you do, it is a disorder whereby the body recognizes some of it's own tissues as FOREIGN and attacks them.

Tear gland gets attacked......dry eyes.
Glands in the mouth get attacked....dry mouth.
Also associated with rheumatoid Arthritis.
Yes Therema and also associated with Lupus.

Many other symptoms, but I suggest that you Google it.

Was going to ask if you mean Sjorens but Sqad beat me to it :)

It's an automimmune condition as described by sqad above, hence the link to other autoimmune conditions like lupus.

Assuming that other posters have provided the correct spelling, there's a UK support group for the condition. There's loads of information on their website, plus a telephone helpline:
