I have an appt to go to the Dept of nuclear medicine later this month to have some kind of scan to check for physical reasons for my very dry mouth and throat.
I googled what this involved and one version has it taking up to a hour with my head in a box, and a contrast dye injected to show up the various glands. At some point I'll be given a lemon sweety to see if that gets the saliva going.
Has anyone had one of these? What is it like?
I have inconclusive results for sjogrens but I had a full body bone scan. I have early o.a. in right hand and right foot but not had any result for my whole body. hands and feet are done separately. xx
