Sjogren's: The Second Most Common Cause of Dysautonomia (This Can Save Your Life!)

Sjogren's: The Second Most Common Cause of Dysautonomia is something most patients never hear about—yet recognizing it early can genuinely save your life.
If you've been searching for answers about unexplained dizziness, fatigue, or nerve dysfunction, this is the video you’ve been waiting for.

WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS

In this episode, we break down how Sjogren’s Syndrome can trigger dysautonomia—and why this connection is often missed for years. You’ll learn the early symptoms, the autoimmune mechanisms behind nerve damage, and the tests that actually catch what routine labs overlook. This is the episode where I say, “If we don’t look for Sjogren’s, we won’t find it.”

UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOIMMUNE LINK

Many people assume dysautonomia only comes from POTS, long COVID, or viral illness—but Sjogren’s is one of the top two most common causes of autonomic dysfunction, right behind diabetes. In this video, I explain the difference between glandular symptoms (like dry eyes and dry mouth) and extraglandular issues such as neuropathy, orthostatic intolerance, and cardiovascular instability.
If you’ve ever googled, “Why is my dizziness getting worse?” or “Can autoimmune disease cause POTS?” this section will speak directly to you.

THE TESTS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER

Because standard SSA/SSB markers can be negative, we cover what to do next—including advanced antibodies, lip biopsy, nerve testing, and autonomic panels. You’ll learn why up to 40–50% of patients with Sjogren’s-related dysautonomia are initially misdiagnosed, and what steps to take if your doctor brushes off your symptoms.

TREATMENT PATHWAYS & HOPE FOR HEALING

We walk through evidence-informed treatments ranging from immunomodulators to lifestyle strategies that calm autonomic flare-ups. You’ll hear real-world advice you can bring to your medical team so you can start reclaiming your energy and stability.
