Christine, I tried your shake two days ago and it was great! (don't know how it would taste today). Can it be refrigerated for up to 24h if one makes too much? My taste is so off I can not tell if something tasted bad/spoiled or not.
I know that everyone is different, but in general, how much time after the radiation does the taste come back (not 100%, but most of it)?
More bad symptoms kicking in: serious burning/sensation on the skin, my mouth burned really bad from the prescription fluoride toothpaste, taste getting really bad really fast... Sigh.
Today was my last day at work for a while, probably for the rest of 2013. Don't have any energy, can not concentrate, it took me 4 weeks to write a conference abstract I would normally finish in one. At least I have submitted it on time.
I apologize for all the venting, feeling pretty down right now.
