Does your prescription regimen include blood thinners and if so, have you had problems with GI bleeds? I have had bleeding with baby aspirin and now use another medication to hopefully prevent GI bleeding. The other medications I take daily also produce dry mouth. I have been using dry mouthwash and dry mouth lozenges before sleep. Seems to help. You had a great result with 5 days hospitalization. Mine was almost three weeks and I struggled to return to my physical activities. Lost muscle mass.

@wpb I only take a baby aspirin, no other blood thinners. No problem with bleeding. I also use a mouthwash for dry mouth and lozenges. They help some but I still wake up in the middle of the night with a completely dry mouth and a sore throat. I then drink some water and pop in another lozenge.
Three weeks in the hospital must have been rough, it isn’t a pleasant place to be. I hope you are doing better.
