Hi Denise- good advice on the mouthwash. I'll get it refilled and start using again. I'm at the point now where I'm only taking ibuprofen during the day and then before bed I take the oxycodone.
My speech is affected now because when I start to talk, mucus starts flowing out!! I also find that it hurts the tongue to talk. In time....
I actually woke up today and felt great! I've accomplished more today than I have in a week. But I'm starting to slow down because I don't want to overdo it. I'm enjoying this energy but will be cautious.
Your advice has been so valuable- thank you sooo much for answering my questions!!!
