I was told by my Rheumatologist that Sjogrens can be hereditary. ??? From what I’ve been able to glean from 🧐 research, no one really knows why it occurs and how to treat or cure it. Symptom management seems to be the only course of treatment along with measures to reduce inflammation. Personally I’m battling EBV - ( Epstein Barr Virus), which I’m told has brought on Sjogrens, rheumatoid arthritis, and hashimotos. All these conditions have been confirmed via ANA( anti nuclear antibody) blood tests. Basically, my body is at war against itself on all fronts.
