Hi guys thought I’d pop in for an update.   I’ve still got a sore throat but it’s getting better slowly. I can eat most things now that’s not dry and not bread. And a dry mouth at night got some spray that’s peppermint flavour that helps. Throats a bit phlegmy.  Had six week review with consultants told me I’m doing well.  So I went to Crete for a week 

  • Thanks Hazel. Can I ask how long it took (roughly) for the flucanzole to see off the oral thrush? 

    I’ve also started doing some research on acupuncture following you post - was that one session or multiple? 

    thanks and sorry for all the questions!

  • Hi. Xylimelts at night are good. 
    In the day I use Salivix pastilles - on GP prescription, BioXtra mild mouth wash - also on prescription, , ACT gum from iherb, Xylident dry mouth tablets, Peppersmith lemon mints. It’s a case of trial & error til you find what works for you
