"The Sjogren's Syndrome Survival Guide"
Teri P.,
Ph.D. Rumpf, et al; (March 2003)
Review by Stamp: I really
got allot out of the book SjS Survival Guide. It
was so diverse touching many subjects from how to choose a
Dr. to advice on handling the general public and family.
It was also very easy to read yet informative on the many
ways this disease affects the different parts of the body
including the state of mind.
Review by Chloe: This book
goes into detailed information on how to cope Sjogren's.
The emotional aspects of this disease are far reaching and
gives some very good advice for dealing with doctors and
family. It could use a little more information on the
neurological aspects, but the medical sections are well
put together. It's a great companion book to the New
Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook. Written by women who also
suffer from Sjogren's, it's well worth the reading.

"The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook" Steven Carsons
(Editor), Elaine K. Harris, et al; (July 1998)
Review by Chloe: This well written book
by a leading doctor in Sjogren's Syndrome goes into
great detail of the medical aspects of this disease.
Chapters cover testing and each body system that can be
affected. The one drawback to his book is in the
neurological areas. There are also some very helpful
hints as how to deal with symptoms as well as
medications to help alleviate them. Recommended reading
for anyone with Sjogren's.

"The Official
Patient's Sourcebook on Sjogren's Syndrome: A Revised and
Updated Directory for the Internet Age" by
Icon Health Publications
Review by Care: A
reference guide for patients interested in locating
reliable medical information on the internet. This guide
presents the “process” of locating information via the
internet; it is not in itself a book on Sjogren’s
syndrome. It does include a glossary of terms which can
assist in internet searches.
It can be a valuable aid for those interested in
becoming an informed patient. Since there is a scarcity
of books on Sjogren's Syndrome, this guide can fill in
the gaps.

"Numb Toes and Aching Soles:
Coping with Peripheral Neuropathy" Elaine K. Harris
(Introduction), et al; (November 1988):
Review by Care:
Many Sjogrens patients are plagued with pain due to
neuropathy. This book explains what it is, what causes
it and how to get the best treatment. I am one who
believes that “knowledge is power”. Understanding the
process of neuropathy and our treatment options gives
us the power to deal with this cruel affliction.
