Fibromyalgia and dry mouth

Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia and dry mouth

fibromyalgia

Avatar m tn A year ago I developed a rash, similar to teenage zits under the right nostril, traveling down around the corner of my mouth and chin. My rash felt prickly hot and raw. Nothing I used helped, and it just got worse. After about two months, the rash cleared, but it left a patch of scaly skin that itched, but finally went away. Is this a new symptom? I emailed my doctor, she said to use an antibacterial soap, it did help. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn Of the medications you listed, none of them cause teeth sensitivity nor do they cause dry eyes, however, tramadol and Neurontin can cause dry mouth. In regards to teeth sensitivity, over the years, enamel on the teeth can erode due to acidic items we eat or drink and sensitivity can occur all of a sudden. Refer to the American Dental Association on how this starts and what to do: http://ada.org/public/topics/sensitive.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am Jana! Hope you are feeling well Today! I also Suffer from Fibromyalgia & a Whole Slew of Other Medical Problems as you can see from my Profile! I believe all my Medical Issues are somehow related b/c before the age of 26 I was Never Sick! They all just Started Coming One after the Other! I think Fibromyalgia is Probably the Most Painful of All, in my Opinion! That & the Fact that I have Several Herniated & Bulging Discs is enough to make One Go Crazy! The Dr.
422425 tn?1307992990 I have been diagnosed with Sjogrens, and I had the dryness in the mouth and eyes and vagina. I didn't have swelling, but did have burning along the jaw and below a bit. I looked up the salivary glands on the net and found that the burning pain is my salivary gland. BIOTENE is a brand name of toothpaste that works a little, they also have a gum and mouthwash. You can buy it at Target, walmart and K-mart. Probably walgreens also.
Avatar f tn My symptoms are multiple(4 or so) ulcers/blisters/sores on the back of my tongue that are painless. These have been there for 2 weeks and have not changed any. Also, I just got another sore on the inside of my right cheek a couple days ago but this sore is painful. I have Fibromyalgia already so its hard to know what symptoms just may be from this and what may be something else....so here goes.
Avatar f tn s (aka dry eyes or mouth), but I have been diagnosed with several health issues in the past six months: POTS/dysautonomia, afib (which has been ablated), and hypothyroidism. Is it possible to have Sjogren's with such weak positive lab results and without the classic symptoms, and is it possible that this (or some other) autoimmune disease is the root of all my other issues? Thank you very much!
3093770 tn?1389739126 First, I had a dry nose and mouth throughout the entire 48 weeks and also for a month and a half after finishing Tx. At times my mouth was so dry I could not swallow, especially at night. My nose was also dry and crusty inside. Disgusting. Hope you are not eating, LOL. I measured my water and, in order to get the 1 gallon a day (4 liters), I was constantly drinking, day and night. Even without the measuring, I would have been drinking because my mouth was parched and I could not swallow.
Avatar m tn I have been everywhere on the web and here and nothing seems to fit, until i did some research and saw that dry mouth is sympotmatic of diabetes. Can anyone shed some light? Its more of an inconvenience than anything else. I can still swallow, doesnt affect taste, throat isnt sore, sleeping is not a problem. I should also mention this doesnt happen everytime and its also varies in dryness. I am going to be changing from a GP to Internest within the next couple of months.
Avatar f tn During the medicine for the reflux I start to have dry mouth and toothache . The toothache went off after 2 weeks and dry mouth is start around .My tongue started to have strange and irradiated feeling like scalding tongue and the upper wall of my mouth also have irradiated feeling . Now I start to have bloated stomach .I really don't know what the main cause of this . Is it anxiety ,reflux or other illness .
Avatar f tn Then I started oil pulling bc I looked up dry mouth and throat and some pretty weird things came up. Like sorts of gum disease. Oil pulling helps kill and pull all the toxins out of your mouth. I'm much better now. Still a little dry but I can sleep. Then about my hip (left side) I started stretching (the best I could lol) and made sure I had lots and lots of back,belly and leg support which really helped. I hope you feel better and Congratulations!!!
Avatar n tn I am a 47 year old woman with terrible dry mouth. I have had several tests and the doctor can't find anything in the blood tests. This is miserable! Could this be a symptom of perimenopause and is there some type of medication that could help? I have tried many over the counter remedies and nothing seems to help.
Avatar f tn Yea I have dry mouth and nose. I was getting a bloody nose bcuz it was dry. Try using a humidifier.
Avatar f tn Is it actually the feeling of being thirsty or just having a dry mouth? If your mouth is feeling dry try sucking on a hard candy or swishing your mouth out with water or mouthwash. If you feel like you are dehydrated unless you drink that much water that warrants a visit with the doc. As coffeebuzz said that can be an indicator of many different issues including diabetes or kidney issues to name a few. How often are you using the bathroom?

4053085 tn?1350154547 I did some research for you and found out that dry mouth can be a symptom of opiate withdrawal. I read that you can suck on ice cubes, chew gum or mints BUT it will pass with time. There is also special toothpaste for those with excessive dry mouth.
Avatar f tn t seem to get rid of my thirst. I will drink. Until. My stomach hurts and I still feel dry. I hardly ever drink enough and when I am pregnant I try to drink enough and the way I know I am drinking enough is that I won't be thirsty. I just wish that I did not feel like I am thirsting to death. I even feel light headed and dizzy. And tired which is normal this early in pregnancy but it makes me feel like I am really thirsting to death. Glad to know I am not the only dried out pregnant woman.

Avatar m tn Now after 5 from first and 3 days later I am having a really bad dry mouth and little bit of sore throat . I have fingered/ rubbed them beu had a protected sex .... Is this ars symptoms ??
Avatar f tn Lately I've been waking up and like 2am with extremely dry mouth... is that normal?
Avatar f tn It can be due to conditions that lead to dehydration, such as fever, excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhoea, blood loss, and burns can cause dry mouth. Dry mouth can be due to medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid problems, anaemia, cystic fibrosis. Certain measures will help like- Drinking plenty of water to help keep your mouth moist. Sucking on sugar-free candy or chewing sugar-free gum. You can also use an over-the-counter artificial saliva substitute.
Avatar n tn For dry mouth I am using grocery/pharmacy Biotene toothpaste and mouth rinse and it is working wonders , filled with enzymes to lube you during the night. It is safe to swallow, follow the instructions.
