[quote=John of arc]I just looked in the mirror. On all sides my tongue is covered in sores. Even the magic mouth wash doesn't make it feel better. I have to swish chloroseptic. [/quote]

John - did you see your dentist before you started treatments? Did they make you fluoride trays? My RO had me wear my trays (sans the fluoride) during treatment. She said that any amount of metal in my mouth (which I have little) is what could cause the sores on the side of my tongue and the fluoride trays should help shield that a little bit. Just a thought! Mine was pretty bad and I absolutely know your pain. frown It gets better. I promise.
