Hi Everyone ,

My mouth and throat seem a lot dryer through these cold weather days , especially back of throat the side that had most treatment, does this weather affect anyone else like this ? 

Happy new year to everyone xxx

  • Yes, I’m always worse in winter especially at night with heating on through the day. We have a PIV unit installed and that makes the air even drier.

    That does get better. I really felt the cold for the first year or so. I finished treatment in January and used to sleep with a fleece and hat on for the first few months
