I was referred to an ENT for the biopsy.
Yes, infiltration should show even in minimal dry mouth. However, the grading (and subsequent diagnosis) is based upon how much infiltration per 4mm sq area.

I don't take Gabapentin. I tried more then once but got no reduction even on high doses. Right now, I take a small amount of percocet, which only takes the edge off. I have also tried Lyrica and Cymbalta, but side effects were too much.
