Thanks all, so far so good.

I am eating better and my taste is a little better. Everything is still dull tasting but I get a bigger hint of the old flavors every day. I don't know how much taste will return but I am encouraged.

The biggest news for me is that the ulcers on my tongue are now better. I had times when moving my tongue would bring tears to my eyes. They still hurt but not nearly as much, so I have started to regain some of my sanity. I was worried sick I would not get rid of that pain.

I see my ENT on Tuesday for my first follow up. I'll post again then.
