Severe Dry mouth disorder

Posted , 6 users are following.

I have dry mouth and was told there's no cure for it. It's altered my life to the point of severe depression and anxiety. Is anyone going through this.

I've gone to every dr. Out here I had blood work done to see if I have sjorgren's but it's horrible.

    I have the same problem. Dry mouth, depression and anxiety. Since April I start having a sore tongue and I have lost my smell and taste too. I am unable to do daily tasks.  My kids lost me as their mother. My husband does it all now and I feel so guilty but I am tired and feeling fatique from the medications I am taking. I am on sick leave and I am scared I am going to loose my job.

      Yes you need to go and see an oral immunologist or someone who specialises in this area. You need to ask about Sjogten's syndrome. At the moment there is no ansolute test. Blood tests can be an indicator but you can have it even if you don't test positive. It is often diagnosed on history

      A general doctor is not able to diagnose it.

    Estrellita i saw your post now a year old but in case i can help i registered just to send you this!  I have have had your symptoms for nearly 30 years and in my case it is not S's Syndrome either. I have developed many different tactics to cope and would be happy to share these if you are still looking for help.  Perhaps you would confirm if you are still in trouble and save me writing just to cyber space!
