Figured this was a good place to discuss my mouth sore issues. 22 treatments to tongue only with 8 more to go. I've had sores forming for weeks but just a couple of days ago they became very very painful. one located on tip of tongue makes talking and eating difficult without magic mouthwash. Started on oxycodone 2 pills every 4 hours. i'd say its working so so. still real pain despite oxycodone and had the worst bout of nauseous (sp?) of my life in car ride hoe from treatment. any advice wold ne much appreciated. thougt i was atacking it correctly. are there stronger drugs i should insist on getting. pain i can deal with, at least unil it gets in the way of nutrition and hydration
