Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I sure agree with Christine. I have no teeth either along with not much tongue . They also took my lower jawbone and I amd not a candidate for a replacement. So I live on whatever is in Isource. I drink much more than 48 oz pf water a day and it helps your body it seems. I have a lot of energy but a lot of pain too. Keep after whoever with questions . Good luck. My life line is a feedin tube like some others in the forums.
Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
