Living with an autoimmune disease from diagnosis to kidney transplant to HAPPILY EVER AFTER. This is my plan!
About Me
- Vicky
- Barely 40 something mom of two little pumpkins who has Sjogrens Syndrome & facing a kidney transplant. I am not a doctor, I am just a patient going through this journey. This is my story I want to share in hopes of helping others.
Sjogren's Syndrome
Sjögren's syndrome often is undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. The symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome may overlap or "mimic" those of other diseases including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple sclerosis. Because all symptoms are not always present at the same time and Sjögren's can involve several body systems, physicians and dentists sometimes treat each symptom individually and do not recognize that a systemic disease is present

*Nearly 100,000 men, women, and CHILDREN currently await a life saving transplant.
*In the U.S. more than 1 million tissue transplants are performed every year.
*You can live a normal healthy life with one kidney.
*You can donate part of your liver and live a normal healthy life. It regenerates!
*You will forever change someone's life. You will let them spend more precious time with their children, grandchildren, and family and friends.
*You will be a hero.

Im glad to see you posting....and I am still praying for you.
Did you know it is Invisible Illness Awareness Week? I got a list of questions from their site and posted the answers yesterday. It was both scary and freeing.
Hi Vicky - I am so glad that you posted an update! Been thinking of you. Be well.
Happy Thanksgiving Vicky! I hope you are doing well.
Vicky, I work at MUSC and came across your blog. I hope the fact that you haven't posted in a while means you got a kidney and are doing well!
Vicky - I am a 39 year old woman also suffering from Sjogren's, with not the typical symptoms, more serious and complex like yours. I'm sending all my positive energy your way and please feel free to email me (atamesq@gmail.com). I always like to speak to people who can relate to what we are going through. Anything I can do to help you get through this period - please let me know.
