I had sticky saliva for a long time but I really don't at all anymore. What saliva I have is pretty much a normal consistency but it is mainly coming from my right parotid gland - I boost what I get from that by taking salagen which I think I'll probably need to take for life (but so far no side effects from it).

Right after I take the salagen, sometimes I have too much saliva, then it tapers off and later my mouth gets dry. My mouth gets very painfully dry at night and I can't talk in the morning until I rinse my mouth with biotene and brush my teeth enough to get some moisture (when I wake up my lips stick to my teeth and my tongie sticks to the roof of my mouth-ouch).

So that's the good and the bad news. I have heard stories of people getting even more salivary function back years down the road after treatment but I'm not counting on that.
