I feel so dry. I am like the fish on the land. Every person that suffers from Sjongren knows what I mean. My mouth, my nose, and my eyes are so dry that it irritates and make me nervous. But the worst is dryness of mouth. Every time I eat dry food it is agony. I love bakery products but I can't eat them because they are so dry. What to do?

There is nothing wise I can tell you. It seems that you need more comforting then advice. You should not eat dry food at all. But I know that sometimes desire is stronger than common sense. If you had to eat it then you should eat it with a lot of liquids. Try to drink yogurt or milk. It will soften the food and than it is easy to swallow. Also try with artificial saliva.
