Hi Group, Please can anyone recommend an acupuncturist who has successfully treated them for a dry mouth? I’m keen to give it a go
Any tips or information will be gratefully received

Hi WesG
I don’t think missFitz is still here in the group.
Acupuncture worked for me. There are a couple of posts about it in my blog

Great. Give it a go. You might be pleasantly surprised. You don’t have to believe it will work for you. I was sceptical but tried to start with an open mind.

WesG …I was recommended acupuncture… personally I felt no different so didn’t continue with it. I had it once a week during chemo/radiotherapy which I finished 2 months ago. The person who recommended it was throat cancer but abroad so it came as part of her treatment, which she had private. She swears by it! So definitely worth a try. My acupuncturist more concentrated on my sickness and throat pain, but I can see how it would work. Good luck x
Doing okay, thanks…I am one of those annoyingly optimistic people though so dwell on what I can do rather than what I can’t! Eating has highs and lows. Thank god ham salad sandwiches and cider are highs, because cheese and wine are lows!
in general I count myself really lucky and hope that continues to be true
And will read your blog tomorrow when I have a bit more time x
Excellent. It makes all this easier if you are positive about getting better. Xx
