Hey Nance~
I use sugar-free AquaDrops along with Biotene gum.

One side effect of dry mouth is dental problems. I had three crowns replaced two years ago (with root canals) and they are going bad. Can you say MONEY?? My dentist tells me it can't be happening. SOMETHING is going on.....

I reread my Mayo records and found that "Sicca Complex could not be ruled out" a year and a half ago. One symptom is dry mouth. When I questioned my Internist about this last week, he said it was "a good pick up", and that "my Neuro should have ruled it out." That's why we pay them the big bucks folks....

Sorry for getting off track. I guess I just wanted to tell you my experience in case you wanted to ask if the blood test had been done to rule it out for you.

Hugs,
Jan
