Salty tast in my mouth from diagnosed with Sjogren's

@neisie13 , hey Nesie. I hope Linda and you are doing well.
I just wanted to add that:
I’ve posted several places about my gradual improvement over the last 6 months. ( With taste issue. I don’t have Sjogrens.) I’m greatly improved even more than my most recent post on other threads around here. If I had to give a percentage I would say that I’m around 97% back to normal. I can’t explain why.
One thing that I am doing is taking Hydroxychloroquine. My dermatologist prescribed it though not my ENT. I can’t be sure it’s a factor as I was improving before I started taking it.

@celia16 Hi Celia...Hope that's your name!!! I never heard back from Linda but hopefully she'll reply so we can hear about her appointment. How great that you are just about cured from your taste issues.. I wonder if the new medication helped? Are you supposed to stay on it for the long-term? I was put on it years ago but I couldn't keep taking it because it made the ringing in my ears unbearable. I hope you continue it with no problems. What was it that made the dermatologist recommend it? I know it calms down the immune system. My taste is a little better since I started the Cymbalta (I take the generic). I don't get that awful salty taste nearly as much but I still have trouble with the sour/bitter type taste. Today the doctor increased my dose since it's been helping somewhat so I'll see what happens. Thanks for reaching out!!!
