what to do for dry mouth while sleeping
I am drinking water, gatorade, probably 6 litres or more. When I go to sleep at night my mouth gets really dry(yes I am a mouth breather). my mouth gets super dry, and the tissue in mouth and lips get so dry and sticky, I have chewed off outer layer especallially below lips. My mouth is sore and hurting when I eat, also sticks it is so dry.
What do ya'll do for this probably. I am thirsty because my mouth is dry, peeing off and on because I am needing to drink water to relieve the dry mouth.

Hi Wolfbane,
Thank you for sharing your invention with us; it is innovative, and actually sounds like a pretty good idea.
This forum you stumbled on is indeed about hepatitis; Hep C, more precisely. While Hep C (HCV) doesn’t usually cause dry mouth directly, it can become an issue from the treatment drug ‘interferon’ that is used to manage it. This treatment can sometimes cause side effects similar to cancer chemo, with lowered blood counts, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, etc.
The actual HCV forum is here:

The site here that you commented in is the ‘Hep C social’ forum, designed for us to play around in, and make jokes; sometimes when people have a potentially life threatening disease, it helps to laugh and joke a bit.
Again, than you for sharing your thoughts; I want you to understand in part we joke and laugh in here, though.
Best regards to the Netherlands,

When I first connected into this site, via Google and "dry mouth" +sleeping, I didn't realize it was a site for sufferers of hepatitis. I have the good fortune to have avoided that problem in life, a little luck and shots in time that saved nine.
Don't know what the hepatitis and corresponding meds may do to mouth glands. They may cause dry mouth without the opened-mouth thing. Then my invention will offer no solace. It's only guaranteed if the cause of the problem is that the jaw opens while sleeping (on ones back).
If hepatitis plays a role in the problem, there may be nothing for it but dry humor. In that case: there's a kind of little fish used in spas for psoriasis patients. The fish nibble away peeling skin and leave the healthy skin unscathed. Now if one were to take a mouthful of such fishies with the water one drinks at night, they might well solve that problem too. Who knows?

The nice feature about the frog in the mouth is that it discourages thoughts that might lead to the Pinocchio syndrome, Deb; good thought though, and a key point that the marketing department needs to be aware of—

"Looks like more of you are into the humor of the "jaw-kstrap" idea than really suffering from dry mouth syndrome"
I agree Wolfie! Don't you think the frog idea really took it to another level. I mean you could use a banana slug, but really, who wants a banana slug in their mouth. Still a pic of you would really help people to understand how it works, people are very visual!
Bill - DMS is a serious issue, and this is a real solution. People are suffering as we speak!
