21 down and 12 to go!!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I have been sleeping with a cool mist vaporizer since the first radiation treatment, and I agree it helps. Can't sleep without the sound now.

But thanks soooo much for the Biotene recommendation!!! My husband ran out last night to Walgreens and bought the mouthwash and spray bottle (I was already using the toothpaste, but didn't realize they had other products). Unfortunately he couldn't find the gel, but the spray bottle really worked! I sprayed my mouth before I went to sleep and slept for 3 hours straight. Yippee!!! And today I was able to take a 1.5 hour nap!! And when I woke up my mouth wasn't bone dry. I do sip water continuously throughout the day, but it's hard to keep your mouth wet while you sleep. I hope some salivary gland function returns when I'm done?

You all are really fantastic! Thank you so much for your encouragement and support and suggestions.
