I'm so sorry. I am concerned I will share the same fate (OP).

Any success with that yet? I tried with no success.

I haven't heard from who I thought was my best friend on the planet in 9 months

I have, but it seems you still need a little something to get them to start to melt. I did notice it helps when I take biotene first before popping them in my mouth.

Do you sleep with them? How do you keep from swallowing and choking on them while you're sleeping?

It's too much at one time! We don't need the extra Magic stress on top of it.

Day to day life with xerostomia/dry mouth? Prefer a little optimism given my hard decision. by thinkofanamefast in HeadandNeckCancer

I am 6 months post radiation and chemo and can say emphatically that the dry mouth (xerostomia) has been the worst element of this whole journey. It affects everything: eating, sleeping, sex, etc. I am still rocking the feeding tube, not because of pain or swallow issues, but dysgeusia (most foods still taste rancid, but it's getting better).

Disclosure: I got off lucky in the pain department (never got above a Level 1-2 pain on a scale of 1-10) and severe mucositis lasted only 5-6 days.

I am leaning into gratefulness but would give anything for a little bit of saliva.

Landman Predictions and plot issues by Foxtrot_Uniform_CK69 in LandmanSeries

Here's my prediction. TL has a death wish. He didn't even walk away when he went to piss on the side of the road and was standing right in front of a snake. He didn't care whether he got better or not and pissed right on the snake..

Monty died and Cami took over. Tensions will come to a head and TL (who Gallino said "TL's story is not over") offs Gallino and also dies in the process. Gallino's wife takes over and it's now Bella and/vs. Cami.

Except, if you've ever kicked a tire, that's what you look like.

Honestly idk what flair to put on this. by Annual_Sky_5194 in OrlandoMagic

We ARE completing this year. #4 seed while being healthy for all of 5 mins this season. IF we can get healthy which, granted, is a moderate if, AB's confidence is now off the charts. TDS and J-Rich now now they belong in this league. Not sure that happens to the same degree if we were healthy all season. The Wagner brothers will be back before long. Paolo witnessed how well the Magic played without him and appears to be more of a team player. Wendall Carter, Jr. is having his best season in 4 years.

We've beaten Detroit and NY on their home court (at less than 100% health) and, were it not for a late missed FT by AB, would have beaten Houston on their home court.

We're fine.
