    Dry mouth and tongue

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone else has suffered prolonged dry mouth and tongue?

    On Sunday I scared myself into thinking I was diabetic because after working in the garden all day I became very thirsty and felt parched until night time. Started getting a dry mouth, and began peeing more often - almost on cue with the diabetic worries.

    I tested my blood sugar with my MIL who is diabetic yesterday, and it was 3.9. Worried it's actually too low, but she said this is completely ok in non-diabetic people - she is also a retired dr, so I try and trust her judgement.

    I still feel I'm peeing more often, and I don't think I'm dehydrated. I had a horrid cold/virus last weekend, starting on the 8th, coughing up loads of phlegm, mild temp, sore throat and bunged sinuses. I'm still a little bunged up now, and there's still some white/yellow marks on my tonsils which is concerning me - not stones or pus, just white/yellow discolouration.

    However this dry mouth and tongue is really stressing me out. Since monday I've been constantly swallowing, manually producing saliva and just obsessing about it - I don't if I'm creating the problem, or if it's genuinely there. I've also had boughts of geographic tongue for around 10 years and that's flaring up a bit now.

    I've had a glut of anxiety symptoms over the past year since my HA kicked off - tingling, IBS went into overdrive, headaches and dizziness, head rushes, tinnitus worsened, overactive bladder, palpitations and being out of breath and so on.......but I can't bring myself to think it's anxiety again.

    I'm concerned that there's a serious issue going on, like an autoimmune disease or something, especially as there's still marks on my tonsils. There's some nasty things coming up if I google these symptoms, and I'm trying really hard to not visit the doc again.

    I'm seriously at my wits end with new and changing symptoms, it feels relentless at times.

    I have had a dry mouth (more so at night) for 2 years now. The docs say there is nothing wrong.

    Reframe it, Mr. L - they're not symptoms, they're sensations.

    The white/cream marks on my tonsils are symptoms though. Theyve been there all week and all medical websites say they should go within a few days, and my sore throat was getting better last wednesday.

    Have a chat to a professional, but it's genuinely unlikely to be anything nasty. Remember what happened to me this weekend? The internet told me that a rash like mine couldn't be anything other than a serious disease. I'm still fine, though.

    Well I spoke with my GP yesterday over the phone and told him about the tonsils and all he said was give it another week. I just know they’ll still be there in a week’s time

    So what if they are? Sometimes things linger a bit.

    Maybe you're right, just can't feel like there's an underlying cause giving me these symptoms. Feel so run down today, been on multi vits, omega3, and vitamin C supplements all week, but nothing's helping.

    How many times have you felt there was a sinister underlying cause before, though, and how many times have you been right?
