I have some saliva, enough to swallow periodically, but not quite enough to eat normally. I still need to drink plent of water with each meal. I still wake up every couple of hours because of dry mouth, so much so that it really isn't a problem to fall back to sleep. Biotene makes both a gel and a liquid to spread on your mouth which gives temporary relief, both Rite Aid and Walgreen's carry them. My biggest problem is the plug of mucous in the back of my nose that wouldn't go away. It restricts exhaling so much that I have to exhale through my mouth. No matter what, I am thankful for being on the downhill side of this and through with radiation.
