Imagine waking up every day with eyes that constantly feel dry, a mouth so dry that eating and speaking become difficult, overwhelming fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, and aching joints that make even simple tasks exhausting. Now imagine these symptoms being dismissed for years before you finally receive a diagnosis. This is the reality for millions of people living with Sjögren’s syndrome, a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues. Every year on July 23, the world observes World Sjögren’s Day to raise awareness about this often overlooked condition, improve early diagnosis, and support those living with the disease. Why July 23? World Sjögren’s Day was established by the Sjögren’s Foundation in 2005 and is observed on July 23 in honor of Dr. Henrik Sjögren, the Swedish ophthalmologist who first described the disease in 1933. His birthday is commemorated to raise awareness of this condition. What Is Sjögren’s Syndrome? Sjögren’s syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks glands that produce moisture, especially the tear and salivary glands. It can also affect the nose, throat, digestive system, and vagina. Who Is Most Affected? The disease can occur at any age but is most commonly diagnosed in adults over 40 years old. Women are affected about nine times more often than men. Common Signs and Symptoms Persistent dry eyes, dry mouth, extreme fatigue, muscle and joint pain, difficulty swallowing, tooth decay, gum disease, dry skin, chronic cough, hoarseness, acid reflux, swollen salivary glands, and vaginal dryness. Why Is Diagnosis So Difficult? There is no single test that confirms Sjögren’s syndrome. Diagnosis usually involves blood tests, antibody testing (SSA/Ro and SSB/La), Schirmer tear testing, eye staining, salivary flow measurement, and sometimes a salivary gland biopsy. Living With Sjögren’s Syndrome Although there is no cure, treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, preventing complications, and improving quality of life. Regular eye examinations, dental care, and follow-up with healthcare providers are essential. Why World Sjögren’s Day Matters This awareness day encourages earlier diagnosis, improves understanding of the disease, supports patients, and promotes research into better treatments. Dry eyes and dry mouth may seem minor, but they can be signs of a serious autoimmune disease. This World Sjögren’s Day 2026, let’s spread awareness, encourage early diagnosis, and support everyone living with Sjögren’s syndrome. Written By AKWUOBI UCHENNA GLORY
Sixteen-year-old athletes get sore knees, grandparents get achy hips. It’s easy to explain away a persistent ache as “just getting older” or “just overdoing it at practice.” But sometimes, that ache is something else entirely, Read more…
