Hi...thanks for your response. I have the mouth rinse and have been using it after I eat and when my mouth feels like it needs it. I'm just concerned that it's been 9 weeks now and it seems that I have more pain....or the pain I have is more intense, even though it seems to be in a smaller area. I am using lidocaine all the time and am also concerned that I might be getting dependent on it....kinda like a junkie.....LOL...not funny! I'm only taking Tylenol and Motrin on occasion because I don't like the side effects when I took it regularly....(constipation) and I won't take any sort of narcotics for the pain. I've told my oncologist that I'll stick with OTC.
I just need to know that it will take longer than I had hoped.....and that it is very, very slow.....I won't wake up one morning and the pain will be gone....that's my prayer!
Thanks again.
Bette
