Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Wow, I have the same problems with mouth and eyes. It's the meds. I chew lots of gum too! I'm going to look for Biotene today!! Thanks for informaton. Also, since I've been on Fosamax and Calcium with D my finger nails to longer peel, split, and do other things to look unattractive. They are now hard as nails and look so much nicer. Joy 3/6Joyce wrote: Joyce, Do you have any autoimmune disorders. I have Sjogren's Syndrome that goes along with all my other stuff. It causes eyes, skin and mouth to be dry. There is mediciation but it has side effects. I drink gallons of water every day....even sleep with my water bottle...it is non spill. My teeth suffer from dry mouth. My eyes drive me nuts. I use Biotene products. You can buy it almost all drug stores and Walmart, etc. It is especially for dry mouth. They make special toothpaste and gel for dry mouth. Hugs, Joyce PF 1997 Bronchiectasis 2004 INDIANA > >> > Does anyone get a dry mouth from taking NAC?

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hi Joy and Joyce, I know everyone is probably getting sick of me saying this but you have to try the Omega Nutition EB oil capsules. I had the dry eyes and mouth too and have not had ANY problem with either since I started taking 3 of these a day. There are no side effects because they are only a blend of flax, pumpkin and sunflower oil. I have no clue why they work so well but prior to taking these I had tried cod liver oil, omega 3 oil and several other dry eye, skin and mouth remedies. On the plus side they also lowered my cholestrol 30 points after taking them for 6 months. My doctor told me to take 6 a day until the symptoms of dryness went away ( it took 3 days) and then take 3 a day. You can get them online from Omega Nutrition.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 , I also had problems with dry eyes and mouth especially when I first began the o2 the Prednisone. I found that a product for dry eye called Refresh was very helpful. The night time version was a gel that felt weird in the eyes but I used it right at bed time and the lubrication helped all night. The product blurred vision when it spread on the eye area but that went away over night. For dry mouth...the new Oasis is helpful but it doen't last too long. I also used sugar-free candy because I didn't need cavities too. Both of these symptoms have decreased over time as the meds have decreased in doseage and are no longer a major cancern.
