I don't think anyone can understand how debilitating this is except us, who are going through it everyday. At first they told me that I am just not drinking enough and when drinking much more didn't help at all I was prescribed saliva enhancers which didn't work and then gabapentin which didn't work. Nothing helps and no one has anymore suggestions!!

@neisie13 I totally agree with you. I suffer in silence daily. On top of constant salty taste in my mouth, I also have mouth sores on my tongue every other week. The mouth sores will last for a week and went away and reappear the following week. So I struggle between the salty taste and mouth sores daily. Sometimes I did not even feel like eating because the mouth sores in my mouth were so excruciatingly painful. My brother told me to try a chinese herbs called the Watermelon Powder Spray to release the pain from mouth sores. I have been using it for over 3 years now so that I can eat food. I wish I can just pop some pills to get rid of it. I know it's a wishful thinking.
