10 Symptoms of Sjogren's Syndrome

Symptom #10: Weight Loss
There are a number of reasons that people suffering from Sjogren’s syndrome may experience sudden weight loss. However, there are also a number of other conditions that are known to cause weight loss.
The fatigue, hormonal changes and immune problems caused by Sjogren’s can all lead to changes in appetite and metabolism. You may be less inclined to eat, particularly if you are suffering from a fever.
Weight loss is often indicative of a more serious problem, so if you are experiencing any of these other symptoms and notice that your weight has begun to drop, you may want to ask a medical professional to see if you fit the diagnosis for Sjogren’s syndrome.
