Managing Dryness

Between severe dry eye, dry mouth, skin issues, and nasal dryness, it can be overwhelming to keep track of every product, symptom and routine.

What does your daily "dryness management" routine look like?

Are there any "hidden gems" or tips that made a huge difference for you?

How do you mentally handle the routine fatigue?

  1. Hi this is Beverly ! I've been on a few times telling about things that help me . I have told about a product I used for my nose soreness and scabs , it's called toothette it actually for mouth but works great swabbed in nose , I came to let know great place to get it is on eBay, for great price , 5 tubes (they're small) for &9.99 , I bought 2 and got free shipping. Very happy ! Just type toothette in search line , can sign in as guest . For my lips and sores in the corner, the only thing that works is Burt's Bees watermelon, they have all their products on sales during Amazon day's a 4pack for only $9.99 , that is a great price. For my mouth I have said the best thing for me is very tart lemonade, I make homemade . Eyes I really like Systane Ultra PF . That's all for Sjogrens ! Take care everyone, these really me lots !

    1. I will always try to help when I can ! This and the lupus site are most helpful and I feel I belong !

    2. , I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling at home! And we appreciate your contributions to the conversation <3 - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

  2. Halls Soothing pectin demulcent drops. They help a lot and taste great!

    1. No, they are not mentholated.

    2. , Thank you! The menthol bothers my stomach 🙁 -I know it bothers some people. Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

  3. The company is called “PapMd” and yes it tapes across my mouth to keep it from drying out while I’m sleeping.

  4. I use Squigle tooth paste from Amazon. It's great, alleviates burning tongue while brushing and also is an enamel saver. XyliMelts from Amazon for dry mouth. I use this at night to keep my mouth moist. It sticks onto the gum and you don't even know it's there. Works wonderfully! Can also be used during the day. Sugar free.

    1. Hi , thank you for sharing! It is wonderful to have a "bank" of ideas to draw upon. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
