This didn’t come easy though!
Venus Williams has battled another opponent
That opponent is called Sjogren’s syndrome
As a competitive athlete, it’s not uncommon to have swollen and achy muscles and joints — but for Venus, this was different. After 6 years of swollen joints, fatigue, as well as dry eyes, and mouth Venus was diagnosed with Sjögren syndrome.
Sjogren syndrome is an autoimmune condition where our body attacks itself, by mistake.
If you have joint pain, fatigue, dry eyes, and mouth make sure you have an exam by a Sports Vision Specialist to learn more about this condition, whether you have this, and its impact on your sports performance.
Fortunately, Venus adopted a vegan diet and limited intake of inflammatory foods like sugar as well as overall calories and was able to return to competition.
