Lack Of Saliva.....
15 Answers
For months and months now ive been having real problems with a lack of saliva in my mouth, normally starting when I wake up in the middle of the night. There is literally no moisture in my mouth at all and my tongue is bone dry. I can drink a pint of water, but 5 mins later my mouth will be completely dry again. I put it dowen to maybe me sleeping with my mouth open and so my mouth drying out. lately it has got worse and worse and I will be sipping water every 5 mins throughout the night to stop the discomfort. On Saturday though I had a bit of a scare. I went shopping and suddenly my mouth dried out so much I literally couldnt move my tongue. I managed to get to a shop and bought a bottle of water and drank the whole thing. However within walking 400 metres I was back to square one and had to go into yet another shop and do the same thing. My tongue is also burning as though I have scalded it. Dont want to Google anything yet, so any ideas??

You have this worse than me though so I do sympathise. I thought it was my breathing through my mouth but can't think why it is like it for you and that bad poor you. Hope you get some answers, will be interested myself too.
