And the things I dread doing right now: eating, drinking water or any liquids, brushing my mouth and washing my face. I really wish this could go away.when I saw testimonials of other people talking about dry lips,I never thought I would be this severe

This is one side effect that lasts, in most people, the entire treatment. You should talk to your Dr./Pharmacist in order for him/her to recommend which chap stick/lip balm you should use, once you are using a medicated chap stick/lip balm or a regular one, your lips within a week will return to normal.
