Dry Mouth and Throat
Posted , 8 users are following.
Has anyone experienced this lovely symptom - extremely dry mouth and throat...it feels a little bit like acid reflux, like you can't swallow properly. Chewing gum does help, but you can only chew gum for so long!
I'm 54 and seem to alternate between all the symptoms we discuss on these boards. Just when you think you can't take another second of one symptom, it disappears, only to be replaced by another one that invariably is even worse!

Oh the B6 so helps, i do take 150mg daily,
Years ago when i first hit peri, my old GP actually prescribed B6 for the symptoms, but me being me back then didnt bother with them... But after lots of research got some more and they solved my late peri anxiety and emotional state out..
B12 boosted energy ..
All good.
I still get a blip day but feel tonnes better.

Reading your posts gives me so much hope that I too eventually will start to feel better! I do have some good days every now and then...
I'm like you - I research things forever sometimes when I probably should've just tried them. I just get so paranoid sometimes!
Thank you for taking the time to provide all of us with such helpful info!

Thanks for kind words..
i also take other supplements that seem to help which the meno body cries out for.
after a ten year peri and a tough start with it in my case, it has got better, and i keep busy, and accept it, if i get an achey day i just listen to the body and let it rest abit.
Most says are good, and i dont let it get me down if theres a blip day, i actually feel quite liberated ☺️
Be kind to yourself
