Hi Karen, did you had checks with this..on morning mine is very bad and my lips are dry too,oh I don't like it feel you have cotton wool in your mouth.

Hi Maria had all tests done, part and parcel of menapause x

Hi, do you think it will get better 

Hi Maria,

Last year i had that on and off for about 6 months. Gone to ENT specialist and told me that was hormonal and to just suck on a sour candy when i feel it..i had a friend she had it so bad that they end up draining the gland.

It will go away eventually. i remember i was on vacation for my wedding anniversary and my time was totally ruined, thinking and worrying what would happen. sometime the things we worry the most never happen 

feel better and happy holidays

Hi Karen, TY for telling me yes I hope so for my sake..mine is very bad that my silva glands are slightly enlarge but normal..going back on chewing gum again it helps so much 

Mine were swollen on the left side, every time i would open my mouth i can see it...it was scary, but like my doctor said hormones would do that to you..when i stopped stressing about it it was gone! Now i'm dealing with this burning feeling in my left ear!! so weird..
