len,
I'm sure glad I read this string.
I'm 5 months out from my last Rads, and I'm beginning to feel like I'll never eat anything spicey again. It certainly is good to realize I'm not alone in the mouth sensitivity issue.
There are many things I CAN eat, and I've managed to stop the weight loss, so I guess I should't complain...but I sure would like a bowl of 3 alarm chili laugh

Hang in there. As my doctors have said WAY too many times "That's normal, be patient, It'll clear up soon"
