“Being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease like Sjögren's was depressing, frustrating, and confusing for me. After joining the Sjögren's Society of Canada, I am now feeling more empowered to take control over my condition. The society has given me the opportunity to attend educational webinars, in-person annual walks, and meet other Sjögren's patients. Learning from patients' experiences has helped me understand my disease and better adapt strategies to overcome the potential complications. I am happy to say that I am a proud member of the Sjögren's Society of Canada.” RH
