Thanks.

I did the pre-treatment TSH measures and I have that number. I was more concerned about C cells finding a new home there.

Thanks for the info on the Therabite. I knew they had to be something better than my fingers. My speech therapist gave me some tongue depressors and showed me that trick. I'm sorry but that method is stupid. They work but you would need thousands of them. I would use 9 at a time and they would get a little nasty after a couple of uses.

I called my RO to see if he could write a prescription for the Therabite. The nurse will review it with him and they will let me know. Amazon has it for $540. If they don't I might have to fork over the cash myself. I will take anything but my fingers at this point.

By the way, the link on Trismus section on the OCF page does not work.
