Update:

� The severe pain went away after a few days of meds...I guess that the way my body deals with being sick. The whole lymph system is rerouted, and goes where is can.
� The muscle spasms in the next are the same, no worse or better. If they crank up a level or two, I�ll pull in my next appointment with my ENT.
� The �one sided tongue� is still the same. I think I see more tongue spasms more now (of course, I am looking at it more now, so it might be no change).

I do have a two new symptom / observations, if anyone is still with me��. Most every time I brush my teeth, I get a little bit of bleeding from my tongue. It doesn�t last very long, and it is only occurs when I use my toothbrush on my tongue. I�ve never have noticed it bleeding on its own, so I am not too concerned. I�ve been able to isolate it to the side that is deformed from the spasms, and but I can never actually see the spot. While tracking this, I noticed that my same side circumvallated papillas are way larger on this side, compared to the other side. They look clear/white, and at least 2x bigger than the other side. My thought is that the spasms on that side (or what ever the issue is) is causing this.

All and all, I think this is all related to post radiation fibrosis. I am not sure what can be done, or even if anything could be done. As we all do, I�ll monitor and report what I see and feel to my Dr�s., and not make any assumptions.

Thanks all,
Mike
