Dry mouth

I drink enough water everyday, the feeling sometimes goes away but only for a short time. Even after drinking a cup of water my mouth is still dry. Also I've noticed when I'm hungry that I get really shaky. Any ideas?

      Unfortunately I don't take any medications so I can't put it down to anything like that

    I wonder if the shakiness when you're hungry means that you have hypoglycemia. If I were you I would have some blood work drawn. Maybe check for diabetes.... (just my guess of course).
