I'm learning as I go. You all helped me with poo problems - but there are so many issues with my pain meds. Some serious and I'm getting help (I think) and some annoying.
No one tells you about the Dragon Breath you will have. I went to ER and seriously, one of the attendants recoiled when I was talking and I think it was my breath!!
I have the worst dry mouth and there have been times, now that I think about it, that people have moved away from me. One time, when I was singing in church someone moved two chairs over and it wasn't my voice - I sing like a siren. I'm afraid it may have been putrid breath that no man or woman will tell me about because they are afraid of hurting my feelings.
Has anyone encountered this? I'm now super self-conscious and brush my teeth and gargle with mouth wash and floss multiple times a day. But there is lingering fear. That my breath is so hideous that I am known as “yuk mouth” Or "Carolina with the Dragon Breath." Or worse, "Dog Sh*t breath" Everyone I've asked has said, "no you're being silly again." But there have signs all along.
Has this happened to anyone? How do you fix dry mouth?
