Back when I was a professional musician one of my teachers taught me that when stage fright was giving me dry mouth (a bad thing for a woodwind player), biting lightly on the sides of my tongue would stimulate saliva. You've probably tried this extremely low-tech technique, but in case not...
I'm not sure if it will work if there's nothing to stimulate of course. I'm not even sure it works for me, and by now I've got maybe a 70% return of salivary function. I hope you get some relief and that the links here at OCF help!
