Pieranna: Daughter of Mother with Sjögren's Syndrome

Italy

Peach and Pink Rose by Shelley EnszMy name is Pieranna, I am thirty-three years old. My mother was just recently diagnosed with Sjögren's Syndrome, after years of joint pain and dry mouth.

She is now very worried and sad.

I am finding out information to make this easy on her, so I would like to get more information on this illness.
