Today I am 8 weeks post tx. I seems like the roof of my mouth in the back and the back of my throat are taking forever to heal. It is still painfull to swallow anything more than liquid or very soft wet food. Even taking pills has become a challenge. They were easier to take a few weeks ago. I still have the PEG and would love to get rid of it, but I still use it regularly. Haven't been able to put any weight back on yet. Do I need to go to the hyperbaric chamber to help the healing process, or is this normal for some? Also the fatigue is awful, I really have to push myself to get going. Will this get better? Is this a thyroid problem?
