Watch out for it you will notice small changes - small improvements try to revel I those. I notice almost weekly changes now and I'm 3 months and feeling much better food still isn't great for me but it's okay. I think some of what you are feeling is that you expect immediate improvements sometimes we're impatient with ourselves. You've been through a traumatic experience it takes a while to get better - also there's usually some let down post treatment because up to this point you've been go go go - and working towards a goal now, it's stopped and it becomes a waiting game. Your focus needs to shift now. Look for small improvements...a little less drool, a little less swelling, etc... Slowly you'll begin to find the light. It does get better. Hugs!
