So im finished with radiation. Thank the lord. Unfortunately to most people that means I should magically wake up fine.
The most major and painful side effects i'm facing are the tip of my tongue feels raw and almost cracked and the back of my tongue feels as though it got burned. If these two symptoms would go away I'd be all set. I'm not eating normally by any means. I'm living off boost shakes with no feeding tube, thank god, and I'm having some difficulty swallowing but mostly it feels like my soft pallet is very sensitive.
Did anyone else expierence pain when trying to speak?
It wakes me up at night as well and I can't tell if this is the problem or not so please share you're thoughts.
At night I'll wake up in pain from the tip of my tongue. My entire mouth will be dry and the tip of my tongue will feel like its cracked. So I have to use chloroseptic spray on it first which hurts like hell for a few seconds then deadens the pain then I use the magic mouthwash. 4 hours later or sooner the same thing happens. Have I cracked my tongue while it was dry? Any advice to help heal my tongue so I can at least talk would be most welcome.
