Hang in there James. Start of week 7 post treatment is where I turned the corner. Getting the peg out was the best day, expect when the doc yanked it out. Ouch! However, Mentally it was a HUGH leap forward. Watch out for burning tongue. Every time I had it, Thrush followed. I got scipt for nystat concoction. Worked great.
