Venus was diagnosed 6 months or so ago. She had to drop out of a competition for a short time when first diagnosed. I don't know off the top of my head any other famous people with it.
I have it. I was diagnosed about 4 yrs go, but had it (active) probably 15 years before that, if not longer. Dry eyes/mouth is the tell-tale signs, but Sjogren's can wreak havoc on the body and major organs. Mine has attacked the DRG, brain, lungs, joints, heart, blood vessels, skin...the list goes on.
I am sero-negative for the disease, but a Schirmer's test and lip biopsy confirmed it.
