Lefty,

Needless to say, every situation is different but I am now more than 6 years out and still have that exact same problem. I make it through the day usually with no problem although sometimes it seems to be triggered maybe by some specific type of food. Night time is terrible although now, after so long, I think I have adjusted to it. I have not found anything after this long to really help at night. I am still puzzled as to why this is as I can get up out of bed in the middle of the night and within 30 seconds I can start sensing saliva returning.

Just hang in there-

Bill D.
