Thanks. I’ll order one and see if I get on with it

Are you with private or NHS dentists? I shall never go to my NHS dentist again. Through the years l've gone to both but went to my last one because I could walk there. My husband has just gone private but wondered if you can get NHS prescriptions with private dentists?  After my treatment l shall speak to my Consultant because l'm currently with no dentist which worries me the way my mouth is.

Private here. No free NHS capacity where I live. I have to pay for private dentist prescriptions. I shall ask my doctor as Welsh scripts are free. 

I just got Gelclair from consultant.  Will try later this evening.  I asked for it.  V expensive to buy.

My hubby went through loads of this. They used to dish it out in vast amounts in the radiotherapy department. He used it neat on his tongue. He then got actibalm for his lips.

We never considered buying anything as the radiotherapy department were amazing and told us that any side effects caused by their treatment would be treated by them.

He also used Caphosol very regularly.

I think we're going to try this tactic too with the GP. We only get the real basics at the hospital.

We have an NHS dentist however she insists on appointment before prescribing Duraphat therefore the prescription might be free but we end up paying £20 every time we want to see her.

i haven’t yet asked her for the Bioxtra as we’ll need to have an appointment and we only had one a month ago.

The mouthwash is a 250ml bottle so stop not going to last 5 minutes and the GP gave us 1. I’m going to request a bulk order and see what happens as they’ll soon get sick of my repeat prescription requests. We’ve also got the spray and then a thicker gel to use on a night.

The speech therapist just told us that Oralieve is also PH neutral but haven’t googled that yet.

Hi Tina

Hubby is on wk 5  and using E45 and Aloe Vera (and some Estee Lauder Night Repair as a treat). We slather Aloe Vera gel on each morning and he also has the drink - both were recommended by another ex 'patient'. Team is pleased with his skin. His neck is red but no further damage.

Good luck! 

Hi Sharon

 he was getting on so well too

Pete's consultant suggested buying  a humidifier (about £50 from Argos he said) and in the meantime, putting wet towels over radiators (good for the husband not for the house)!
