Understanding Treatment Options & Living Well With Sjogren’s (Mini Course)

  • Course
  • 2 Lessons

After being diagnosed with Sjogren's disease, many patients are told to “use eye drops” and sent on their way. Others are started on medication without any explanation of what it does or how long it takes to see results. You deserve more than vague guidance. This mini course explores prescription, over-the-counter, and alternative treatments. Plus, how to navigate provider pushback when discussing your options.

Sjogren’s Treatment Essentials: Prescription, OTC, and Alternative Options

Get clear, practical guidance on treatment options and how to overcome roadblocks so you can make informed, confident decisions about your care.

This video course provides a clear, accessible guide to the treatments available for Sjogren’s disease, from prescription options to supportive OTC measures and alternative approaches you may want to explore.

Created by board certified patient advocate Kristina Kelly and Dr. Sarah Schafer of Sjogren’s Advocate, this course blends clinical expertise with real-world guidance. Dr. Sarah explains treatment categories and what providers consider. Kristina shows you how to handle roadblocks, ask informed questions, and evaluate your options with confidence.
