 Sjogren
 Subject: Sjogren
 
 Sjogren is a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder that sometimes involves connective tissue.  Symptoms often seen are dry eyes, dry mouth and fatigue.  Lymphs "attack" moisture-producing glands.  It affects organ systems as well along joints, muscles and skin.  while I suppose a Sjogren FLARE could resolve, this is otherwise clearly a chronic disorder.  Look for your clues in the ROS and PMI.
 
 Otherwise, frozen shoulder syndrome often resolves with anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, heat, ice and physical therapy.
 
 Hope this helps.

 I'm doing an H&P on an obese patient with facial suffusion and a 2-week history of fatigue, 15-pound weight gain, peripheral edema, dyspnea, dizziness, and tingling.
 In the assessment, he says historical and physical exam findings consistent with s/l tic leukian or tic loo can syndrome. I can't quite figure this out, and my spelling must be too far off to catch a clue. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
