This logo was chosen in 1994 by the Sj\u00f6gren’s syndrome group shortly after its formation in Montreal (Quebec), Canada. It was designed by one of our members.<\/p>\n
Our logo is shaped like an eye, as it is the site of one of the first symptoms associated with Sj\u00f6gren’s syndrome. Dry eyes are the most common symptom. The dove symbolizes the peace that all people with chronic illness actively seek. The heart represents the compassion we have for all those who suffer from this illness.<\/p>\n
Many of us have difficulty adjusting to the health problems associated with Sjogren’s syndrome. The members of the association try to bring comfort and help to other people suffering from this disease. The tear symbolizes the hydration required for our dry eyes and other parts of our body.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
