Sjögren’s syndrome is often thought of as a condition that mainly affects the eyes and mouth, but for many people, it can seriously impact the nervous system. In this video, we explore the severe and dangerous neurological complications of Sjögren’s syndrome, including both peripheral nervous system and central nervous system involvement.

You’ll learn how Sjögren’s can lead to conditions such as small fiber neuropathy, polyneuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, and serious central complications like vasculitis, transverse myelitis, chronic headaches, brain fog, and memory problems. These symptoms are often overlooked or misattributed, which can delay proper evaluation and care.

This discussion is designed to help patients, caregivers, and clinicians better understand warning signs of neurological Sjögren’s, why these symptoms matter, and when further medical attention may be necessary. Early awareness can make a meaningful difference in managing complications and protecting long-term nerve and brain health.
