@panevills I know exactly what u r talking about. Asa nurse myself the medical profession hasn’t experienced so they really have no clue. I had 35/7 my last treatment was 10/18/24 the first 6 months were horrible but doable considering the alternative. The second 6 months no mouth or throat pain but lymphedema was so bad I could not move my left arm for months. I used Dr Ellie’s (YouTube) mouth regimen to get rid of burning mouth syndrome ( I will continue this for the rest of my life) and i have the tactile medical machine which pump the fluid off my head, neck and chest (i can now move my arms and shoulders, and breathe much better). I just had to accept that things will pop up and move on. Alkaline water and Dr Pepper for whatever reason did not burn my mouth and others have had the same experience. Dr Ellie’s I had improvement immediately but took 4-6wks to go away ompletely
