I'm so sorry that you are in a difficult situation with trying to find medical help. I am also in that same position having a PCP who is pretty much incompetent and uninvolved in patient welfare. Alternative methods to control dry mouth are chewing sugarless gum, sugarless candy or cough drops and using a Neti pot to keep your nose hydrated and cleansed. Best of luck with your upcoming appointments. I hope you find some needed advice in controlling the problems.
