@nancytrudeau. You’re so right, antihistamines can dry up more than a runny nose or relieve itching. Sorry to see you suffer from a dry mouth along with the itching from your MDS.
Dry mouth can be caused by underlying illnesses but also medications. While not permanent fixes there are a number of products on the market that can relieve the worst of the symptoms. There are a bunch of discussions in the forum regarding the remedies for dry mouth. Here is one link to get you started. Below that I posted a link to the full search.
