Dry Mouth

[Peder]

Hi all

Ive had fibro for over 2 years now, along with all the associated aches pains, but recently ive started to develop a dry mouth. My mother has been diagnosed with sjogren's syndrome to which im not sure if its hereditary. sjogren's syndrome is an auto immune disorder which accompanies other conditions. I do have Hashimoto hypothyroidism, hypertension and reflux. Any one have any thoughts??

Hi Peder,

I have exactly the same diagnosis as you and have very dry eyes and mouth. I am constantly sipping water and always carry sugar free gum. I use visco tear drops to lubricate my dry eyes. I also have been diagnosed as having arthritis I do have under active thyroid. I am in constant pain all over my body and especially in my hip just cannot get comfortable at night especially.

I’m constantly got a chest infection asthma so fed. I had to resign my job and take it easy.

I’m pretty sure all these diagnoses is interlinked

I hope your not too much in pain and hope you’re having a pain free day

All the best

Clee

Thx Clee.....im fortunate that my fibro isnt as bad as other people, yes its still debilitating but what else can you do? The pain doesnt bother me too much as meds can sort it out... for me the constant tiredness is the worse, i just wish i could one day wake up and feel refreshed, giving me energy and enthusiasm to do something..but hey ho...never mind.

Terebo nessa oll a'n gwella
