Not to that extreme but drooling. Worse at nite; have to change the pillow case often. And, yes, PD most certainly sucks! I learn one more thing I didn't know every few days. Glad to have this chat room.

@goatgirl28 I too have problems with drooling and somewhat heavy or thick saliva. Here’s something I came up with to help me with drooling while sleeping on my side. I put a dry washcloth on top of the pillow case and rest my head on the washcloth a couple inches from the edge of the washcloth. When I end up drooling and it wakes me up I pull the wet edge of the washcloth out away from my face until I’m repositioned on a dry spot of the washcloth.
Voilà! I’m on a new dry spot and fall back to sleep. This only works for me if I’m sleeping on my side. I hope you might try it and see if it might work for you.
