Question: I take.10 synthroid and .15 hydrocortisone daily. I recently had blood test and cortisone without meds was .6 and my
Free T4 was low at .98. I have suffered for over 1.5 months with dry mouth syndrome. I saw an ENT who told me to suck on lemon drops.

The next day I had scalded tongue and throat. No one seems to know what's wrong.
