    Thanks for sharing

    Gutter
    My mind is not in the gutter right now (a rare occasion),
    but anyway, when I finished treatment I suddenly had the
    need for flo max. All of the gentlemen here above age 50 do
    or might get lucky enough to take, uh back to the point, I
    myself was fortunate enough to have real wet dreams. It
    was great. From 52 to 2.5 years of age is great! Fortunately,
    the drugs fixed it. I am now 54 and no more wet dreams!! Yeah!!
    P.S. Please don't tell anyone.

    All the BEST,
    Steve

    I miss saliva too
    I understand and really miss the days I had saliva. I remember when I started radiation treatments and the doctor told me that I would lose my saliva, she said I would just need to carry a water bottle. I really thought it was going to be no big deal.....how wrong I was.

    I take a salagen pill every 4hrs and it at least gives me some salvia, but when the medication is out of my system, I'm dry as a bone.

    Thanks for the funny story....made me laugh

    I misunderstood too
    My oncologist also told me that I was going to lose my saliva. I did not relate that to eating or dry mouth conditions and did not even think it was going to impact on my eating. As mentioned in prior threads, mine is getting worse due to aging but just happy to still be around.

    Yeah, I got the "HNC
    Yeah, I got the "HNC survivors always come in carrying a water bottle" speech, too. They really did not explain the scope of dry mouth to me. I never in a million year though it'd be this bad.

    Dreaming
    Ice-cubes in mouth followed by chinstrap followed by sleep.
    Just a dream...
