Salty tast in my mouth from diagnosed with Sjogren's

@neisie13 , yes I’m in NC and most things shut down due to ice. Thankfully, I haven’t lost power so far. Hope others are as fortunate. I do have gas logs as backup heat.
I must say that the salty taste has gotten less intense lately. It’s amazing. I now go about an entire day and don’t think about it! It’s still there but not as strong.
I don’t find that my mouth is dry so doubt it’s Sjogrens. When at the dentist they must keep suctioning me. Still, maybe I need a biopsy. My ENT didn’t see the need. And, my rheumatologist after viewing labs didn’t either.

@celia16 Glad neither of us lost power but here most everything is closed because the roads are so bad. I was so pleased that I was getting some relief from the salty taste after starting the duloxetine but yesterday it came back full force for no reason. I'm hoping it was a glitch but we'll see. You might want to read up on the lip biopsy because I have read that many people have long term side effects from it. My rheumatologist didn't see the need for me to have it since it won't change how I am treated. Glad that you've had so many days where you feel better!!!
