Welcome and I hope that you receive the support that you need.

My doctor also gave me a mouth rinse called Caphosol that requires a prescription. It comes in two parts that you mix together and then swish and spit. I really like it. I gets ride of what I fondly refer to as "the slime" and them keeps my mouth from being so dry for quite awhile. I especially like the results if I use it before I go to bed. I don't wake up with such a dry. mucousy mess in my mouth. Someone also sugested that I get a humidifier for the bedroom at night and I plan to pick one up this week.
