Yes that's the one.@ally1 is the drug beginning with a called Amytriptyline by any chance? I’ve taken that before and had a terrible dry mouth. I was told that medium (50mg, I think I was on) doses cause it but not low or higher doses. I’d go to bed sucking a sugar free sweet and hope I got to sleep before it dried out again, but that presents a terrible choking hazard. I was that desperate though.
I hope you can find a solution, and well done on being the boss at your appointment!
I will look into it once I get my blood tests results and the DN is speaking to my gp tomorrow.Hi Ally,
Tried nose strips? I get sinus trouble and when it is giving me problems, I use nose strips like Breathe Right. Might be worth having a try. I find that if I don't use them when my sinuses are causing problems my mouth gets very dry indeed. I get mine on Ebay, lots of good offers on there.

Awesome! very well doneNo have completly stopped smoking now
Curiosity got the better of me and I have just rung my surgery to see if there was any news re the meeting the DN had with my gp yesterday.
The receptionist said gp had put no action to be taken. So I am not sure what to think or do now.
Well the only thing that has changed is that gp has updated the increase in Victoza which I knew from dn when she requested that to be increased.
That's a good idea. I will call tomorrow. I know she only works two days at the surgery per week. It's either Wednesday and Friday or Thursday and FridayI would ask to speak to the nurse and find out from the horse's mouth. She was obviously on your side and doing her best to help. I think a conversation with her will be worth while.
That's so true@ally1 - I'd tend to agree with @Bluetit1802 . Aside from anything else, it is showing you really do care and you're keeping tabs on them.
Sadly sometimes, out of sight, in a busy workplace, can mean out of mind.
Has anyone had a blood test to check thyroid and kidneys?
I had blood tests for these last Friday while seeing the DN. I rang Tuesday late afternoon but nothing back, fair enough. I rang again later afternoon and nothing back yet. I presumed the results would had been sent to my surgery by now

I am also not good at waiting lolAlly - I've had a load of thyroid testing, of all sorts done over the last year or so, and in my experience they're always about the last to come back from the lab.
I'm not good at waiting, but you'd never have guessed that!
Yes I will try again today but will wait until this afternoon when its quieter. Normally when test results are at the surgery, it will say then the receptionist will say results are waiting to be seen by the gp@ally1 if I know your surgery they will waiting for your gp to see the results.
Are you going to try them again tomorrow?
