Rose

i need to change my eye drops and start getting a dx and strart useing the mouth stuff ( denist did tell me )
but in last 4 weeks i think things have got worse .

So the lady told me what to do
So now off to docs to start ball rolling it was the question before on what denist could put on the strit he gives me some things but i need a firm dx
And what the doc was meant to do .But i did not feel like going or doing So doc knows nothing about it yet . as going on holiday and coming back to apps about m/s and such like .

so going to do it now or i won,t feel like it and end up gummie toothless ha ha I have other usefull apps coming up where i could be sorted

Hi Chrissie
oh you aswell sorry ehar that
right well last year when i was on Mtx and Naproxen togther i got extremly dry mouth ended up getting deep filling which is 1 i now got asbcess.
anyway dentist like u told me see doc i did got spray gp teted me for sjorgrens syndrome via bloods then later in year rheumy di the dry eye test i dont have sjongrens syndrome it was mix of naproxen and mtx casued it.

im now off mtx on naproxen and not such dry mouth so dont need spray anymore,i do howver sip water often.
eyes drops you want nautral saline oens not optrex type if you have pre payment cert for meds better get off gp aswell.

you can get a choice if sprays from gp soem are oily you will need try couple,,just say dentist asked you see them about dry mouth u will need see doc.

also sip water when can and get rheumy do offical sjongrens syndrome test to confirm.

hope that helps.
also tea or coffee drys mouth out more.

Hi Liz
i rang the sorjins help line interresting

she says it may not get worse and stay how it is .
Like i feel i think i have it .But says now is when you need treatment not like i was going to do wait till it changed into something .

So off to docs mainley to get the gel or what ever they will give me and change my eye drops as had dry eyes for years but may need gel drops .

Been to boots and got some biotene gel and mouthwash and started to use it .( dentist did say do something )But till i see i need 2 fillings ensead of the one so i moved my bum .

My poor Dentist is in hospital so my filling and the extra one i have changed the time of the app so he will have time too do both
if he comes back .
I am now haveing too many fillings Lady said doing the mouth gel etc i allready have the toothpaste from Dentist it will slow the rate down

so thats that i will see if i can have a dx next month with the nurse
She says strat treatment now all you will need your teeth out Ahrrrhhh
christine hope you are fine

I have a high flouride toothpaste i wonder if i need any more ?My denist is in hospital at moment so don,t know whats going on .Was meant to go tomorrow christine

you can get from docs frree if you don,t pay

I find sucking fruit pastilles and mint tic tacs help. I always carry a bottle of water with me too. The spray does work, but only for a few minutes.
