On Pilocarpine but still suffering from horrible taste and no appetite from dry mouth

I was diagnosed with Sjogren's in September of 2022 but have been having symptoms for a year and a half.

Very few foods taste good, I have no appetite and have lost 40 lbs.

Feeling very discouraged as far as finding foods that I can even eat.

Muscle pain is getting pretty bad as well

I am taking Pilocarpine but it is helping very little, only makes symptoms barely tolerable as far as dry mouth.

Anyone else taking anything else as far as medications that have helped?

Any advice concerning foods that might be more tolerable?
