Key finding: pooling 521 people with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) against 9,916 healthy controls, patients scored significantly lower across every domain of the SF-36 quality-of-life questionnaire — including domains that capture emotional and mental wellbeing. On the Role-Emotional domain (how much emotional problems interfere with work and daily activities), mean difference −18.22 points (95% CI −25.74 to −10.70). On the Mental Health domain (nervousness, depression, calm, happiness), mean difference −9.69 points (95% CI −14.40 to −4.98). These are not incidental gaps — they quantify how invisible autoimmune illness erodes emotional resilience through constant discomfort, unpredictable fatigue, and chronic pain.
