I get a knot in my stomach and a swelling in my chest.” Pankow, 58, of Lockport, Ill., is undergoing tests at Chicago’s Uni versity of Illinois Hospital where doctors hope to ease her condition. They said the cause of the ailment — Sjogren’s Syndrome — is still a mystery. They do know, however, that an tibodies in syndrome sufferers “go awry,’’ attacking their joints and saliva, tear glands and possibly sweat glands as if they were foreign organisms in the body. When someone is upset or laugh ing hard, muscles around tear glands tighten, causing tears to flow. But Pankow has no tears. “I couldn’t even cry at my hus band’s funeral,” she said. “People who didn’t know me very well must have thought I was cold-hearted. I just asked the doctor if he could give me some tears.” She uses fake tears, an artificial eyedrop solution, up to 10 times a day to substitute for the lack of real eye moisture.
