Good news David! It gets pretty frustrating at times, waiting for things to improve even a little bit. When they finally do, it really is reason to celebrate!

I'm finding that my dry mouth is somewhat better as well, although I don't think the actual dry mouth has improved. I have a close relative that is an oral surgeon,and he's been monitoring my progress REALLY closely ( it's great having your own medical team stopping by the house twice a week to check up on you!)

He said that things look pretty much exactly the way they did two months ago; the improvement is as much mental as anything, in my case anyway.

The new "normal" for me is something that I'm starting to accept more completely. It frustrated me a lot initially, not as much now. I think that acceptance has a lot to do with it

Keep on getting better! BTW, Happy belated Birthday!
