OK, three years out now from diagnosis date, and doing pretty well, all things considered. Shoulder issues and neck stiffness are standard, but tolerable. I have noticed, however, that my dry mouth and dry skin seems to have been worse this year. I know we are just getting out of winter, so some of that is to be expected, especially with all of the snow we had, but just wondering if anybody else experienced same thing.

Maybe, just maybe, I have cut down on my water intake too much as well. Nurse drawing my blood said it had the characteristics of somebody dehydrated.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
