I have very dry lips, but the main problem there for me is my nerve damage to my tounge means that I can't lick my lips which is very annoying. I never noticed how often I licked my lips to moisten then until I was no longer able to do it.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking Sjogrens myself Raglet. I don't exhibit the dryness anywhere but the mouth, and no dry lips even.
Yes, I lick my lips a lot to moisten them, so I can just imagine what it is like to not be able to do so regularly.
