What is Sjogrens?

Sjogrens (also known as Sjögren’s syndrome) is an autoimmune disorder that affects the tear and salivary glands, resulting in dry eyes and dry mouth. It can also cause other problems such as fatigue, joint pain, and difficulty swallowing.

What Can Make Sjogrens Worse?

There are several factors that can make Sjogrens worse, including stress, certain medications, and environmental factors.

Stress

Stress is a major trigger for Sjogrens symptoms. Stress can cause the body to produce increased amounts of cortisol, which can worsen Sjogrens symptoms.

Medications

Certain medications can also make Sjogrens worse. These include anticholinergics, beta-blockers, and some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Environmental Factors

Environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, low humidity, and air pollutants can also worsen Sjogrens symptoms.

Conclusion

Sjogrens can be a difficult condition to manage. Fortunately, there are several ways to reduce the severity of symptoms, including reducing stress, avoiding certain medications, and avoiding environmental triggers. With proper management, people with Sjogrens can lead a healthy and active life.

Additionally, avoiding certain medications such as antihistamines, decongestants, and some antidepressants can help diminish the severity of Sjogrens. Finally, finding ways to reduce stress through exercise, relaxation techniques, and support groups can be beneficial in controlling Sjogrens.
