Dry mouth and related symptoms are actually really common with fibromyalgia — up to 71% of people with fibromyalgia experience dry mouth, so you're definitely not alone in this!

Many MyFibroTeam members have shared similar experiences with dry mouth and other oral issues, and were relieved to find others going through the same thing. Some things that may be contributing to dryness symptoms in fibromyalgia include:

- Medications — Antidepressants and muscle relaxants commonly used for fibromyalgia are linked to dry mouth
- The condition itself — Science hasn't fully explained why fibromyalgia and oral/moisture issues are so connected

It's worth continuing to work closely with your doctor to monitor symptoms. Keeping a log of when symptoms flare up can help your healthcare team get a clearer picture and guide next steps.
