Hi lioness and all: reminds me that last year dentist office sold me some mints for dry mouth but one of the ingredients, cant remember name but had X in, sugar substitute causes diarrhea and as I have that already, didnt try them. Odd,over the years my optometrist re dry eyes and my old dentist re dry mouth both suggested I ask my family dr about Sojerns ? disease. I asked him and he snapped back: you dont have it !!! New doctor later; again, dentist mentioned my dry mouth: new dr looked in my mouth: you don't have dry mouth!!! Honestly, why do we put up with this from family doctors? I should have had both dentist and optometrist phone my doctor? As I spend more and more time in or on my bed all these "old issues" float into my mind... I never used to speak up but it was to my detriment..... June
