Oh V., that sux!
When I'm stressed out I tend to drink a lot more coffee and diet cokes. Could you be doing something like that ?
Are you eating or drinking anything different, or have you changed your eating habits, after Thom went away ?
Are you taking anything for your allergies?
Hope they don't hang around very long

No I haven't really changed anything.
I'm pretty good about staying hydrated. I'm looking forward to a long ride this weekend because that seemed to really help last time.

that is NOT good news my friend! here's hoping you can get over them again and maybe find the cause to prevent another comeback.

Hope you feel better Veronica. My sister and law and I both stopped taking Claritin. We call them B***** pills.
They did little for our allergies and they made us really cranky. I thought I was imagining it till my sister in law said the same thing.

Veronica, so sorry to hear about that. I never heard of salivary stones. Sounds like torture. I get gallstones...and used to get canker sores when really stressed. But a stone in the salivary gland...ARGH! Originally Posted by Veronica

OK, was I the only one who was not thinking of candy when Karen mentioned Lemon Drops ??
( for the uninitiated, Lemon Drop is also a type of martini, made somewhat infamous on this board by one Ms. snapdragen, who introduced - some may say corrupted - many of us at the Cinderella pre-ride dinner to the ways of the lucious Lemon Drop martini. Hey, they're made with lemon juice so they can't be all bad
)
Nice to see you here, Karen {hug}

I tried this once. And it worked, but it swelled up so huge before hand. Originally Posted by massbikebabe

Hooray! I'm so glad you're seeing progress already.

PS Thanks for reminding me what real difficulties are.

If this happens at a certain time of the year, any chance some kind of allergy could be involved? just a thought

Jobob...
You hit the nail on the head...Lemon Drop Martini's would be great...Lemon would provide tartness to draw out the stone...Gin or vodka for pain!!!
karen-
I prefer Dirty Martini'sQuitting is NOT an option!
