Kristen, I think you may have some ups and downs for awhile. I'm over two months out and the week before last I was really tired and had my skin and scalp hurt. I tried to eat more protein and vitamins and am feeling more energetic. So I don't think it will be all of a sudden you feel great, give it time, as Christine (I think) said, each week of rads = one month recovery. I'm planning on 6 months to feeling almost normal and one year to see how much of my taste will come back.
