It's very common as Monique mentioned, dry eyes can happen at same time. I had a period of 6 mths - 1 yr where both were an issue. I always kept a water bottle and sterile eye drops with me, even at night time. Thankfully it passes. There are certain mouthwashes specific for this as well that may help you.

I'm so relived to find that this is common 🙏🏼 I posted about it last week but only had 1 reply. I've had the dry mouth for a while but just got the Dry eyes !! Really worried me to be honest they felt like they were burning 😢 Are yours better now ? I'm seriously hoping this doesn't last it's very uncomfortable isn't it ?

Glad this is helpiing to relieve some of your worry. I remember this happened to me before I found this site, I was always so scared something horrible was happening to me. It's nice to have others reassure us when it's possible, that much of these odd symptoms are fairly typical.
Yes, the dry mouth and dry eye are pretty much gone. Once in awhile one or the other may happen but it's no big deal, I still sleep with my water and eye drops on nightstand, just in case.
I am now considered menopausal as of 12/15 and slowly but surely, many of my symptoms are fading, just like others before me said would happen (I really felt I was going to be the exception and not be so lucky as them, back then, lol!) and sure enough, while I'm not totally symptom free, I am way better than when I was even 6 months ago.
So please know while all this is can be really uncomfortable and sometimes very worrisome, much of what you will experience, doesn't last for long, even though while in it, seems so.
Take care Debbie, this is temporary.

I'm so happy things are at last improving for you. It really is most reassuring to have someone as kind as yourself to offer such a supportive reply.
Thank you so very much

Yes I've got a horrible dry mouth, I've had it for years now.
Mine is not anxiety as I am on HRT which has been wonderful for depression and anxiety but I still have the dry mouth and so thirsty all the time.
I've been checked for diabetes several times and I'm fine.
