Peripheral Neuropathy and Neuropathic Pain in Sjögren's Volume 36, Issue 10 November / December 2018 SjogrensSyndromeFoundation @SjogrensOrg Peripheral Neuropathy and Neuropathic Pain in Sjögren’s by Constantine Farmakidis, MD efore proceeding into detail about neuropa- thy in Sjögren’s, I would like to provide some Bintroductory information for readers. Sjögren’s is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory condition that leads to the classic clinical presentation of dry eyes and dry mouth or “sicca” symptoms, which is a form of the Latin word siccus that means dry. How- ever, beyond “sicca” symptoms, Sjögren’s can manifest outside of the salivary and tear glands. This is known as extraglandular involvement which can be notably variable in Sjögren’s and can affect the lungs, heart, gastro- intestinal system, urogenital systems as well as the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central ner- vous system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord, whereas the peripheral nervous system is comprised of peripheral nerve structures that extend from the spinal cord down to the hands and feet. continued page 2 t Letter From Your CEO, Steven Taylor s another year comes to an end, I start to reminisce about the past year and what the Sjögren’s Syndrome Foundation Ahas accomplished. As you all know, the SSF was founded by a patient for patients, and the SSF remains committed to ensuring that all patients benefit from our work! We also work hard to ensure that the patient voice is in every meeting, every conference and every research decision. We want to make sure the donations we are so thankful to receive, are going to projects and initiatives that patients will find helpful, useful and empowering.

In the works was a production funded in part by a number of cam- pus stakeholders, meant to prompt important conversations about race, identity and privilege across campus and in the community. We were brewing plans to bring a number of theater heavy hitters to campus to engage in an- other important conversation, this one about women in theater. We prepared to begin the search for a new faculty member to join us to teach voice. We all know how the year ended, thanks to a pandemic that is sweeping the world: a production halted, then post- poned indefinitely, a half-dozen student projects cancelled, dozens of seniors sent into the world without their traditional valedictory. It was not the ending anyone wanted. And yet, it is worth noting how much we did accomplish. The campus and community came together for a powerful series of performances and conversations around Kris- tin Greenidge’s Baltimore, including a school matinee with a bracingly frank discussion.
