I also never know what sound is going to come out of my mouth from minute to minute. Often people comment "are you sick?" Sometimes it makes me want to say "well, duh" ! With what this throat has been through it is a wonder I have a voice at all !

Sure never knew how important Silvia is in the mouth. The constant and unrelenting burn is the worst.

I have just tried a new product called Oral7, a big thank you again to Uptown, (another poster on this site) for kindly sending me sample packets of the mouthwash, mouth gel and toothpaste. It seems to be all that biotene ever wanted to be and the mouthwash gives me about 2 hours of glorious relief.

I have contacted the company to request an order form to order more of each. If you are interested in trying it let me know and I will get the contact info to you.

Take care !
