Hi Friends,
Jim has been having a terrible time the last few days with dry mouth during the night. It doesn't bother him as much during the day but has kept him (and me!) awake lately. He drinks water, does the soda rinses, Oasis mouthwash, but it really acts up during the night. He gags on Biotene mouthspray so that's out. We have a cool mist humidifier but have not tried it. Could you share any rememdies that helped you with dry mouth during the night?

Thanks,
Debbie crazy
