Have never heard of anything like this in my life. But thank God that’s all it was.

Glad you’re okay!

And I’ve never heard of that ever before ever. Wow. You’re a medical marvel!

Sounds like a reward having to eat candy…

That’s a relief. Now if I could get a prescription for beer and pizza all would be well.

Glad it was nothing serious! I have Sjogren’s Syndrome, an otherwise boring autoimmune disease that kills off the salivary glands, so I always have dry mouth. The hard candy thing is what all the doctors tell me, but be sure you get the sugar free kind (unless you already did not, and are loving what you have!). But, without enough saliva you are at increased risk for cavities because the sugar hangs around longer.

Enjoy the lemon drops! (Mmmm! I love lemon drops. Maybe I need to go to the store now too.)

I’m so glad it wasn’t anything too serious. I can only imagine that the sight of a swollen gland in your neck can be quite frightening (for some reason the face of Eddie Murphy as the Nutty Professor comes to mind–must be the thought of the swollen neck). How much better can your illness be when the doc Rx eating candy as a cure?! Hope you get better soon! BTW, when your neck was swollen did Swee’Pea and TheMonk poke at it? I know Da’Gorgeouses would be having a heyday if it were me!

Can I get a Rx for SweetTarts? I ate so many of those things in college that my tongue blistered. I still love ‘em.

Okay, I am SO VERY GLAD you’re not going to drop dead anytime soon… you get a pass on scaring the crap out of all of us because the idea of a clogged salivary gland is pretty funny.

So you have a doctors note to eat sour patch kids?? My mouth is actually salivating just thinking about them. May have to go to the drug store right now & get some.
