Cathy it is so good to see a 16 year survivor!!! Wonderful!!!

I love reading the comments on here. For so long I thought I was the only person who experienced such things as the choking on a pill, mouth gunk, and not eating big volumes.

Guess what I did today? I drank a diet root beer. The artificial sweetner was strong enough to knock a horse down but I was able to drink it with minimal burning but I know tomorrow may be another day. (Anything extremely cold such as ice cream and iced drinks still hurt.) AND I make homemade salsa for my family and I even tried it. That was not an exciting moment though. LOL

Nelie, I lived on chicken noodle soup for a while and the warm salty broth felt really good. Maybe you should try it. It didn't require any effort to swallow nor did it rub "blisters" on the roof of my mouth.
