Regarding dry mouth: I do not have antibodies for Sjogrens but I do have dry mouth and dry mucous membranes in general. Last time i was at my Rheumatologist, he prescribed a drug called Evoxac. It does help me tremendously and I have not noticed any side effects. I believe it is prescribed solely for the treatment of dryness associated with Sjogrens.
Mouth burning: I have never had burning, but after particularly bad flares of neuropathy (with severe autonomic dysfunction), I have had mouth numbness. It is horribly uncomfortable. It feels like I have been to the dentist and have had lidocaine. At that time, it took about two months to resolve. I still have some degree of numbness in my mouth (feels kind of like a wad of hair is in my mouth at times). I know that sounds kind of gross but that is what it feels like.
