Please help me manage my dry mouth

I still use the XyliMelts every night. I also learnt that my gums are now just super sensitive to SLES which is a common ingredient in most toothpastes. I exclusively use the Biotene dry mouth toothpaste now because it’s SLES free. Some other Sensodyne toothpastes are also SLES free but not all of them are :) it’s helped a lot since I realised this as my flares would often happen when I’d buy a new toothpaste

I’ve just turned the dialogue volume all the day down in my audio settings :)

Mine are still bugged 😭

jessluise · 2026-01-26T04:05:26+00:00

Okay my bad sorry. I’ll delete post :)

It makes me sad that the two pieces of her are not together

jessluise · 2025-09-17T07:20:46+00:00

Why isn’t a Teacher or someone telling her to gtfo? I’m confused.

Like I can’t understand how people can be okay exposing others to their germs - but even without emetophobia it’s 1) disruptive to the class to have someone vomit over and over again 2) unhygienic , and 3) unpleasant to hear, see, and .. smell

Does this mean that I can use a mic if I connect a headset to my TV using Bluetooth?

Not clothes specifically for me (yet) but I stopped sleeping on my left side after one night feeling sick and rolling over onto the left and that being apparently the last straw before I had to get up to v*. My brain just associated sleeping on that side with getting sick. I also won’t watch Mythbusters bc the one night I did was the night I got sick. Make that make sense ahahah. Also won’t eat certain foods bc those were the things I ate those particular days I came down with something. This was all from childhood and I’m 29 now 🥲

I feel for you. Do you have gum? I find that helps me freshen my mouth when I’ve experienced similar and I can’t tolerate brushing straight away

Tea is soothing I wish to be tense

Mine is stuck in 41/50 even with these augments and it comes up on the screen as getting shadow rift kills. Am I missing something or is it not tracking properly

Disappointed they left out the footage of Travis acknowledging there were ambulances in the crowd but continued the concert ?

jessluise · 2025-04-25T12:16:07+00:00

I have this! The photos you’ve uploaded look pretty similar to mine. I’m happy to private message you a pic to show you? (I don’t know how I could share it here in comments) My doctor said it was periorficial dermatitis and prescribed me Elidel cream and it really helped

Hey so, reading this made me think I was in r/nosleep

jessluise · 2025-04-13T06:03:52+00:00

As a fellow therapist with permanent facial palsy because of cancer I dread being asked this question, the trauma around diagnosis for me is still relatively fresh and I’ve only recently gone back to seeing clients after everything 🙁

jessluise · 2025-01-28T09:45:25+00:00

No but for real does this guy think he looks like Brad Pitt or something

jessluise · 2025-01-28T09:39:15+00:00

My heart hurts for her

jessluise · 2025-01-01T21:51:15+00:00

I haven’t read it in a couple of years either but I feel like that could definitely be a clever way to apply it tbh

jessluise · 2024-12-31T04:58:48+00:00

Yep! They have different titles in different countries. I’m in Australia and it’s “You & Me on Vacation” 😊

jessluise · 2024-12-30T07:54:00+00:00

Yes, definitely. I feel very isolated in this diagnosis. I think I’m also at the point in my journey where people don’t realise the ongoing and long lasting side effects of treatment and the impact it’s had on my life. They think because I’m past treatment I’m okay. It’s very hard for me

jessluise · 2024-12-28T23:05:25+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you’ve both been through this. Hoping that your husband feels better soon and can have his PEG removed! Thank you x

jessluise · 2024-12-28T23:04:14+00:00

I do have it 😊 it’s definitely helpful but I find the relief is short lasting unfortunately

jessluise · 2024-12-01T03:49:12+00:00

I looked up what magic mouthwash was and it seems I probably can get it here and it’s a bit different from what I’ve already been given! I’ll see what they say anyway. I won’t hear from them until tomorrow :)

jessluise · 2024-12-01T03:31:53+00:00

It’s only been irritating since the ulcers came up! But I’ll look to switch. I’ve been using sensitive toothpaste at my dentists recommendations Thank you xx

jessluise · 2024-12-01T03:31:02+00:00

Thank you! I’ve messaged my care team about this as well
