XyliMelts - opinions please
I'm am in dry mouth phase, and looking for options. I tried the Biotene dry mouth paste and it mostly just accumulated mucus. My rad oncol pushes XyliMelts, but they don't seem to do much. I am on day two of that experiment, so they might yet produce, but so far, nada. I'm applying two at a time, upper outside jaw. I'm very well hydrated, and extreme mucusites seems to be over.

over 3,000 Xylimelts consumed
AS,
I currently use Stoppers 4. Oasis, Biotene rinse and spray, Xylimelts, Spry and other brands I run into along the way. They all help a little bit to pretty good (nothing is perfect).
I take 2 xylimelts every night when I go to bed, if I don’t my mouth dries up and feels like it is glued shut. I put them in my lower gum (left and right).
It is much better now than in the beginning. I go nowhere without my water bottle, but sometimes do not need a drink and leave it in the car.
For general health reasons I still drink close to 10 glasses of water a day.
Use whatever you want, your new normal is one big experimrnt.

Noooooo! I've been using you
Noooooo! I've been using you as my idol for post-post success. You are all healed, and eating street tacos from push-carts, to go with the micro-brew you don't have trouble tasting..

I did an amazon order, Oasis,
I did an amazon order, Oasis, Spry, Stoppers 4. Most other things have healed, time to take a shot at this. Another month before my PET, not much else happening (I hope).

Melts
I have tried xylomelts as well. I wake up with unmelted tabs stuck to my checks. I have resigned to waking up ever hour for sip of water and back to sleep. biotene spray seems to help a little while I am at work. Anything spearmint seems to help. Good Luck and keep trying to find the magic substance.
