Hi Lefty,

At the risk of pulling this thread more OT, to me saliva and dry mouth are related but different.

Throughout treatment, the lowest level of saliva production was about 60%. Needed extra fluid while taking in food during the times I could manage.

Dry mouth on the other hand was very low, maybe 10% with an exception or two. Recently, for the first time, I had a bout of dry mouth while sleeping. It went on for a month or so until I figured out when really tired and sleeping hard, I would breathe through my mouth which caused the dry mouth. Either not tired now or trained myself to keep the yap shut while sleeping as the dry mouth is gone. laugh
