Last weekend I able to sneak away to fine local establishment and watch my favorite local Reggae band. The bar had an IPA on tap going under the brand Strong. After ordering one, I can report good news, some of my taste buds have returned and I can say definitively, that IPA taste as bad after chemo/radiation as it did before chemo/radiation.

I sorry but, just because some drunken Brits found that extra hops prevented beer from becoming rancid when held in a ship hull for weeks at sweltering hot temperatures, does not mean this swill is at all tolerable or enjoyable. I can honestly say when given a choice between any IPA and the locally produced beer market under the name King Starr made in Zhengzhou China made from, who knows what, and served at Aloft hotel barbeque, I would order King Starr. And I will next week.

Also, my TMJ was not great before the �fun started�, it certainly is not any better now. Has anyone found improvement after seeking professional help? Also what was it that actually helped?
