Bad Breathe
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
Ok I think my dogs have better breath than I do right now. Anyone else having a problem with bad breathe while they are on the tx? My body has gone into over drive producing mucus, so that may be it. I am drinking tons of water and brush my teeth about 4 times a day, just cause it makes my mouth feel better. I also use the Biotene mouthwash, but still feel like dragon breath most of the time. Anybody else with this issue?

" Well, thankfully, no one has complained yet...or they are too scared to tell me! LOL I do have a hard time tasting food, everything seems to be a bit off....but it has helped in that I have lost weight. Have you tried getting peppermint losenges? I know my nurse mentioned that. Suck on them just before you eat, or if you feel like you have that bated breath thing! "

" I have noticed that when I sweat it's foul animal smell of some sort. I've never had this problem before and I assume it's the toxins coming out of my body. No one has said anything about my breath, but it's got me thinking. "

" I do remember my body smelling like medicine, as for my breath, I remember the riba would make me mouth very, very dried, I hated it, needed to chew gum in the middle of the night to get it to pass or rather relieve it tempararely.

I know that my little dog at the time, definately knew that I was on meds, he smelled it, and was the best little companion to me while on tx.
He was always so quiet, when I was in bed, he would be right there with me, as if he was sick himself, soo cute.

I do urge anyone who is on a journey, especially those who are on treatment for a year, to get a little dog to keep them company, they are a Godsend.

Now how did a thread posted for bad breath, turned into getting a little dog on tx. lol
Jeannie,
Did you check it out in the Survival Guide?
If not and you do, please update us on it if you feel up to it.
How's your breathing today?

Love & Respect,
Mckenzie
One day at the time. "
