Hi, I seem to have increasing problems with dry mouth. It started off just in the mornings but seems to persist throughout the day now. I spoke to my GP last week and he prescribed Glandosane (saliva spray). My local pharmacy didn't have it nor could they order it. Tried a bigger pharmacy and they said it was out of stock and maybe no longer being manufactured (!). They suggested Salivix (sp?). I have contacted my GP with this information but just wondered if anyone is using anything that a) works and b) is readily available... Or is there anything that I can buy over the counter that has worked? I have been in a back & forth with my medical centre since the beginning of November and all the while still having problems with dry mouth. Any advice greatly appreciated...
I have aural acupuncture every 4 months, in the ENT dept, and I’m sure this helps.
When I started this I had it every two weeks for six months then monthly

Having a call with my Macmillan Nurse this week to discuss holistic needs/solutions so will talk to her about acupuncture too. Thx, Lx
Don’t be surprised if she doesn’t know. Mine didn’t but my oncologist did.

I am unsure if things are getting better or I am just coming to terms with the situation -
What are you? 4/5 months out of treatment?
There’s plenty of time for things to get better
