Sjogren's can sometimes affect other parts of your body. You can have dryness in your throat, nose, lips, or skin. The glands in your neck and face might swell up. Women may get dryness in their vagina. Some people also get swelling, pain, and stiffness in their joints.
A symptom is something the patient senses and describes, while a sign can be spotted by other people, such as a doctor. An example of a sign is a rash, while a symptom may be pain. The most common symptoms associated with Sjogren's syndrome include dry eyes and dry mouth.
