Since my (self-diagnosed) discovery that I have BMS, I have been reading advice from medical sites and also scientific papers on BMS. It appears as though most sufferers are post-menopausal women. However, men over 50 are also prone to this (that's me).

There is little consistent advice and the scientific literature is also sketchy. It's thought to be psychosomatic by some, but others acknowledge real changes in mouth function (e.g. saliva). BMS is experienced by perhaps 11% of the population! Typically BMS lasts for 6 to 9 months but can last much longer.

I would be interested in any advice that fellow suffers may have. What has helped you? So far the only thing I have found is to buy so
