This dry mouth thing is awful! I have to get up 2-3 times at night to unglue with water & during the day it isn't as bad but still bothers me. Bitch, bitch, bitch! My buddy says he's glad I'm still around to bitch about it! There's that perspective thing, half full or half empty. I'm a month out from radiation & wonder others experience with saliva coming back. It's a beautiful day here in western Washington & I'm going in the pool today with the kids, "YAY!" peg removed 6/21. Life has to go on , doesn't it?
