Hi everyone,

The wonderful Dr. Julius Birnbaum is now affiliated with a new Sjogren's Syndrome treatment clinic at Johns Hopkins, Bayview. The website for the clinic is available - Google the jerome s greene sjogren's center to find the URL. The clinic is supposed to be a one-stop shop for Sjogren's treatment, where you can see neurologists, ophthalmologists, gynecologists, ENTs, rheumies, and neuros who all specialize in Sjogren's syndrome.

I saw Dr. Birnbaum last month for what I thought was neuropathy and now may be diagnosed as some kind of myopathy (based on abnormal EMG but normal nerve conduction tests). He seems like a brilliant doctor.

I also see Dr. Baer, the lead rheumatologist. He is very sharp, too.
