Sounds like Sjorgens...I have this..Look up Sjorgens and see if this fits what is goig on with you..If it is -Sjorgens is Autoimmune..You will need to keep water handy ..If it is Sjorgens other body areas can also become dryh-including the eyes, nose and vaginal area..kd

Don't ya just love these autoimmune diseases? Each one has it's own destructive little gnome and we just get lucky and set it off somehow..Mine all began after a bout with pneumonia..Never got better and that was over 16 years now..
Are you dealing ok with all your stuff?

Don't jump to conclusions and diagnose yourself with an autoimmune disease without being examined by a doctor. The dry mouth could be from something else. Go to your doctor.

Thanks both and I was already diagnosed in 2001 with Lupus and Scleroderma, Sjogren's, Fibro and list just grows. In fact I'm sitting here crying right now because the doctor left a message for me to call in the morning he needs to discuss my lung CT and Chest Xray now wonder what that is I'm sure bad. I have a site for Scleroderma and other illnesses I run also. Thanks for the help and having these illnesses is horrible and has no boundries.
Hugs, Sharon
