Been there, Done that!! My RO prescribed me a formula (Miles Mixture), but the salt/Baking Soda rinse you reference was the best suggestion I received. I did get to the point in treatment where I couldn't even stand that in my mouth from the "roasting". With only 7 more treatments to go you will see an improvement fairly quick after you finish, so keep rinsing all you can. There's light at the end. Just hang in there....
