Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I've been paying attention to my eyes and even to my lips and mouth. During the night I wake up feeling like I've dried up completely. My lips are so dry that with my mouth closed, I can still pull air through them. My entire mouth is really dry, also. I've been using eye drops to lubricate them and it does make them feel better, but at the same time, I 'lubricate' my face cause I'm a terrible shot. Maybe this whole thing has to do with the dry weather we've had this winter, but then, why would it happen all of a sudden? I think it does have to do with Sjogrens, I'll have that checked next chance.
