Thanks for all your replies.

I have heard it could take up to 9 mos to see improvement. I will try that. I don't have any side effects that I can tell. I guess it varies some will get significant saliva back and others will have to get used to their new normal. I don't know where I eventually fall between those two categories, but either way I must be thankful for what I do have and not look at what I don't.

God bless you all.

@jg99t9 I have dry mouth that is very irritating and mucus that feels stuck on my throat especially in the morning. I’m worried very much because I’m a teacher by profession how it would be when I get back to work. What can really help with dry mouth?
