10 Things About Sjogren's That Change How You See Your Symptoms (Allergies, Nerve Pain & More)

Do you have Sjogren's and a history of allergies, eczema, or food sensitivities? This will connect the dots.

If you've been told your Sjogren's is "just dry eyes and mouth," this video will change EVERYTHING you thought you knew about your condition. Dr. Kara Wada—a board-certified immunologist who also lives with Sjogren's—reveals 10 critical connections that most doctors miss, explaining why your "unrelated" symptoms are likely all part of the same picture.

Stop feeling dismissed and start connecting the dots. This isn't just a disease of dryness; it's a complex, multi-system condition that sits at the crossroads of allergy and autoimmunity.

In this eye-opening video, you will learn:

1. Allergies & autoimmunity share the same root problems.
2. Sjogren's is where these two worlds collide and amplify each other.
3. It's one of the most common but least recognized autoimmune diseases.
4. Why your burning/tingling pain is likely undiagnosed Small Fiber Neuropathy.
5. How Sjogren's can actually start in the gut.
6. The cruel irony: why your antihistamines might be worsening your dryness.
7. The Sjogren's-POTS connection (Autonomic Dysfunction).
8. Why your fatigue is a metabolic and mitochondrial problem.
9. Why early, proactive treatment can preserve gland function.
10. Sjogren's deserves more awareness and better tools.

This is the information you need to have more productive conversations with your doctors and become a powerful advocate for your own health.
