OK Girl.. deep breath here!

I do not think you're going to find may of us that have all of their spit back to pre-treatment levels. Frustrating, yes, frustrating as hell, but just like your treatments dont give up, adapt, adjust, experiment and find something that helps. For some reason I have had to start using the thicker Biotene Gel again at night but at the same time I am beginning to be able to eat pepper (Tony Chacharies to be specific) again. A major positive milestone for me, this from the kid that used to used Tabasco like ketchup.

I was told not to expect to much until at least 18 months post. I'm quickly getting there and I do notice some subtle changes.

Hang in there !!!
