Dry mouth is a common side effect of oral morphine ….have your specialists any ideas ? It sounds horrible …….so many side effects of so many drugs ! There are artificial salivas that the GP can prescribe ( Biotene ? ) and all sorts you can buy in Boots …...whatever , I hope you get an answer ….best wishes ….
, what a bummer! So often upsetting things appear on TV without warning! Xx
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
Thanks , I'm waiting to hear back from my Hosice Nurse and BCN is useless or on holiday!! But the lovely ladies at Maggie's online have given me some ideas, including the one you mentioned. So Thank you.
it really is horrid. Sounds ridiculous moaning about a dry mouth as I know every one is probably thinking well have a drink!! Wish it was that easy!!! But if it means the pain is better than I will deal with it!! Xxxxx
LondonLass, you can get oral sprays and gel on prescription for dry mouth. From GP or dentist. It is a genuine dental problem and can cause enamel damage. I personally found it rather stinging so stopped using it, but many people find it useful. Worth a try xxx.

Well I survived another week. Can't get used to how quiet this thread is these days. Obviously it could be positive in that everyone is busy getting back to 'normal' life. However I just wanted to say........
Just a bit of fun, my lovely Fruit Loops xxxxxxxx
I love this group LondonLass, and am a bit sad that it has gone quiet xxxx
