10 Symptoms of Sjogren's Syndrome
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Dry Mouth
Another one of the earliest and easiest symptoms to detect is dryness of the mouth. This occurs for similar reasons as those which cause dry eyes: inflammation of the glands in the mouth become inflamed, which leads to problems. The mouth is not able to receive as much saliva as it needs and you may experience dry mouth, or ‘cottonmouth’ as a result.
It can become serious enough that the tongue might get stuck to the roof of your mouth at times. This is much more intense than the feeling that you get when you’re a little bit dehydrated. You may develop a hoarse voice and experience changes to taste preference.
