@colleenyoung I really am suffering with thick mucous in my mouth, especially at night. I take Cevimeline 3 times per day. It is still awful. I have read that Plaquenil doesn't really help with dry mouth and thick stuff in my mouth. Does anyone have anything good?

@sheritaylor I forgot to mention that another one that helped me prevent the thick mucous and dry mouth was popping in a XyliDENT Xylitol Tablet and letting it dissolve in my mouth before bedtime. They are inexpensive and coming in different flavors.

@sheritaylor Good morning. I too have the thick choking stuff. But only at night laying down. So I wonder if it is coming from/draining from my nose? Anyway, I give each nostril a squirt of Otrivin with moisturizers mist spray. no more issues with the stuff.
