What causes the loss of mucus membrane?
Hi all, I am just wondering what causes losing all mucus membrane or sweating, saliva or any secretion? Recently I seem to lose oil on my face, do not sweat, dried mouth and dried skin and also lose all the snot and nasal mucus? No doctors could diagnose what is happening and that makes me scare and anxious.

@learningstudent I’m so sorry you’re still waiting for an appointment. Doctors must really be going crazy playing catch-up. As you wait, just keep up your notes on symptoms, responses, and anything unusual. When you finally see a doctor, you may be a bit miffed at having to wait so long, but be polite. Everything is in a mess right now
I’m in Canada. I’m not looking to come to the clinic. I’m looking for advice and opinions. I’ve already been diagnosed. But I’m just wondering with those diagnoses can those all together equate to schizophrenia?
Hello @canadian1998 Welcome to Connect. You say you’ve already been diagnosed—with what, if you don’t mind telling us. Is that what you’re looking for advice and opinions for? We’d love to help, if we can

Colleen made some good suggestions about finding people who you could trust. Do you have a therapist?
@learningstudent How are you doing? Have you been able to get an appointment yet?
I have had dry eyes and issues with dry nasal passages. For the eyes, liquid tears, PM ointment at night and an RX for pataday. I often wear an eye mask at night, which helps keep moisture in. I use aquaflor with a q tip for nose; but maybe you might try a cpap, which allows moisture with heat while breathing. My mouth is dry; have to brush 2x day, once without toothpaste and use waterpic to keep gums and teeth in good shape.Xylimelt and biotene can help, too. Mouthguard for clenching. I have MCTD, with a touch of sjogrens, I think.
Did you ever try the cream??so does this mean you have strophic rhinitis then??
@learningstudent. We’re you ever able to find a primary care doctor? That would be the best starting point to diagnose what is wrong with you. Will you do that?
