LaTanya McGill

LaTanya works in federal law enforcement, is a licensed PA realtor, and is an Sjogren’s Disease advocate. She loves to travel and spend time with her family. LaTanya was diagnosed with Sjogren’s after experiencing a dizzy spell 3 years ago. Though she has the telltale symptoms- dry eyes and mouth- she didn’t think it was anything to be alarmed about. She would use drops in her eyes and fill up on electrolyte drinks. As a result of the undiagnosed disease, LaTanya developed Lymphoma and had a Parotidectomy in November of 2024. She is presently cancer-free but continues to be followed and cared for by her care team. Since her diagnosis, LaTanya has been focused on her total health. That includes managing her Sjogren’s symptoms by managing her weight, diet, and exercise. She continues to be her own advocate for her health, speaking up and making her care team aware of her needs.
