Sjogren's World Forum
The good folks at SJS World have a new location for the superb discussion forum. If you are a 'SJS' sufferer and have yet to visit the SJS World Forum then do so now. What is it and what do they offer? Quite simply it is a discussion forum for people with SJS and their families to voice there concerns, advice, tips, stories and fellowship. It is a caring community where all are made most welcome. I have found it to be informative and fun. Sometimes you may simply want to have a good ole rant, in the knowledge that you will get a sympathetic hearing. To visit click on the link at the bottom left of the menu on every page, I strongly recommend it.
