Acid reflux symptoms vary in degrees of discomfort, from person to person, and within different age groups.

Dizzy Dean, the great baseball pitcher of the 1930s-1940s, once quipped, “The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing.”

Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disorder - a disorder in which your body attacks its own tissues because it thinks they are foreign. It prevents your body’s
