Because of the cold sensitivity, I have found it very difficult to stay hydrated. I am 6 treatments in and drink a lot of broths and soups now. It is making a world of difference!

I try to drink at least 70 ounces of water a day. After treatment, my cold sensitivity made even room temperature water was too cold, so I would microwave a glass of water for about 30 seconds to make it drinkable. Thankfully the cold sensitivity for my mouth only lasted for a few days after treatment.

I also find softer foods more palatable. Peanut butter has been my friend!
Hang in there✌️
