Sjogren’s syndrome

Dr. Latov discusses the scope of this rheumatological condition throughout the body and the testing that can be done to establish a diagnosis.

For information on Sjogren’s syndrome please refer to Dr. Norman Latov’s book (Peripheral Neuropathy: When the Numbness, Weakness, and Pain Won’t Stop by Norman Latov MD PhD FAAN )  especially pages 36-37 and page 38 for symptoms and its association with Autoimmune Sensory Neuronitis and Vasculitis.

Patients who have been diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome should consider a visit to a Board Certified Rheumatologist as part of their search for medical answers and help.
