    I’m not ready yet to be defined by any words other than my name.. Many people have heavy crosses to bear. Why do we need adjectives to describe ourselves? But, I do agree that if you have lost a loved one and you are able to cope, you are a true survivor.

    Yes I also have the same issues. I also have Sojourns syndrome which causes dry mouth and cavities.  I use Biotene products for dry mouth.  It seems to help the cheek biting, creates some comfort. Blessings, Pauline kaza
