Barbara - So glad you got such good news! Things do get better slowly. It does seem to take longer than it really does sometimes. The thing that worked for my son for dry mouth more than anything else is the Stoppers4 Dry Mouth and it's available at Walgreen's for around $5. Everybody reacts differently of course, but my son had tried a couple of other things that just didn't work for him until someone recommended the Stoppers4 Dry Mouth. With that he was able to get much better sleep. He doesn't need it anymore now and is beginning to taste more and more things. Still needs to drink lots of water tho' and Gatorade.
