Is This New?

I awake this morning to birds singing, sunlight beaming through the window, feeling rather well-rested, & my mouth feeling like it was super-glued shut!! Don't get me wrong....I have had a very dry mouth for many years. But now I wonder (almost daily, it seems) "Is this new? Or am I just now realizing it for what it is?" Maybe I have just come to allow myself to think of it as part of the disorder, rather than my lack of care for myself, or my growing old, or to whatever else I previously attributed every symptom. Does anyone else feel like this? So then, I lay there thinking...what can I do about it? What fixes THIS? Why did I never seem to care so much before about fixing the symptom? Is it because I didn't know it WAS a symptom? My thought processes with each aspect of this disorder are so much different than they were before....
