I am suffering dreadful a dry mouth to the point of gagging i am on 6 1/2mg pred and Omeprazole which i didnt take today but my mouth is still dry .its not long enough to know if its that. Does anyone else suffer from this. Went to the hospital about my cateract today will be done in 6 to 8 weeks not looking forward to that. My Potassium and Billirubin levels have been raised recently dont know if thats anything to do with PMR. All these extra little things rearing their ugly heads driving me potty. Rheumy wants me to take Vit D should i have blood tested first  really dont want to take all this stuff.
