I have had body vibrations for over a year inspite of Mepron and Zith long term.

My ID doc thought this hypersalivation could be due to something called sialeldenitis (sp?) but it hasn't been diagnosed yet. I have a lot of face pain issues.

The hypersalivation actually went away while I was on IV tx but came back about a month later when I was off of abx.

It can also rotate tin the OTHER direction.

It is caused by the infection of the Stellate Ganglian...which is located in front of th3rd and 4th vertebrae. (As explained to me.)

I don't drool.
I have had bouts of excessive salivation and the saliva always seems "thin" to me during these periods. Sometimes it seems too slippery (which I think is a sign that the pH is off...either too acidic or too basic). At times I've had these symps alone, other times it comes w a furry white tongue or a black stripe down center of my tongue, or brown-blackness growing up from the roots of my teeth (very ugly).

I asked my dds. She says we normally produce two types of saliva and one is thinner than the other. She thinks its possible that the lyme is for some reason causing an overproduction of the thin kind and stopping the production of the thicker kind.

She and my lyme doc think the blackness at the roots of my teeth are lymey. DDS thinks it might be something she called black line bacteria. In doing lots of advanced websearching I found only one reference to black line bacteria and it was by a woman on a forum much like this but for candida patients who described exactly what I experience and who was told by her dds that it was black line bacteria.

I haven't found anything that helps with the excessive salivation. Although I never tried cinamon tea and I've heard that is supposed to dry you out.

But then(OK I'm a bit unusual this way); I like salt and
can easily do without sugar.

Excessive saliva issues have been playing on the edge of my consciousness for weeks now, I can even remember thinking on several occasions that if I don't start spitting it out it'll make me sick to my stomach.

I"m a 32 year old woman, there's no way I"m gonna start spitting, what would my deskmates think?

Anyway, I don't know why we're doing this but I can say:

YOU'RE NOT CRAZY

The corners of my mouth were just slack enough to let droplets of saliva through at times, and I did drool a few times (once when talking to my boss ).

I also had mild facial paralysis where I couldn't make most of my normal expressions, and it felt like I had a raw steak plastered across my forehead.

This resolved on its own for the most part, after about 6 months, though I did have a 2 week course of cipro during that time period which may have knocked the infection back a little. That was one of my first clues that I might have something infectious rather than strictly degenerative.
