A. Renal toxicity has to do with side effects related to the kidneys so I'm not sure how this is connected with your feet and ankles. Xerostomia means you have a dry mouth. Ask one of the nurses or your doctor if you are unsure.

Xerostomia... Can this be caused by years of wind?
Q. Xerostomia... Can this be caused by years of wind? I know this is just a fancy word for cotton mouth that gives you cavities. I used to ride a motorcycle. For years it was my only means of transportation. I have clear cavities and constantly cracking teeth, even though I brush 4 times a day. Could this constant wind in my face and mouth have given me this extreme form of drymouh? I do not do drugs, smoke or eat a lot of sugar, but my teeth are getting worse.I do have healthy gums, my dentist can't understand it and I cant afford to go to an Oral surgon or specalist to find out.

My mouth is EXTREMELY DRY. Someone please help?
Q. I think it's xerostomia. I might be wrong.. but I think it is. I've gone 36 hours without sleep because of this stupid problem and I'm sure I'm gonna have a mental breakdown if I don't cure this soon. My dry mouth is killing me. I go to sleep at 10pm.. brushed teeth, shower, everything. But then, I get a little thirsty. so I drink some water. Just a little sip. And I go back to bed. Less than a minute later I get thirsty. AGAIN. So I drink an entire glass this time. BUT a minute later it happens again and again. And after the cycle repeats 5 times I get tired and watch TV. While watching Tv, I get less thirsty. And have to drink some water every 5 minutes or so. So I try to sleep again, but the one minute thirsty thing keeps happening.… [cont.]
