Lee, I am almost three months out of radiation and I still don't have 80% if my old energy back. I thought I would but my recovery seems to be much slower than I'd hoped. I'd say I'm about at 50% and some days less. Some days I am just flat-out exhausted all day like I just finished rad.

The mouth gunk got better for me around..week 7? week 8? It took longer than I thought it would. It was gradual and I still carry PUFFs everywhere ebcause I have spit attacks where I have to just get a bunch of gunk out. Also I have either had allergies or a little cold lately and all that nose gink seems to drain to halfway down my throat now and then it just sits there until I spit it out.

As for trismus (not being able to open your mouth), I just a couple of weeks ago noticed I was getting that in some much worse and more noticable ways than before (can't even fit two fingers in the gap between my upper and lower teeth in the am--let alone 3). I am in the proecss of ordering a therabyte--let me know how yours works because I certainly HOPE it will do soemthing to help change that around for me.
