Our body's immune system is a powerful defense against bacteria and viruses that can cause disease.  Sometimes, though, our bodies' own defense system can attack our own cells.  This is called an "autoimmune" condition.

Sjogren's system is one of those autoimmune diseases.  Robin and Joyce speak with Steven Taylor, President & Chief Executive Officer of the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation, to learn about this syndrome, and how to determine whether you are affected.
