Terry, Let us know how that works. And thanks for the encouragement (I had to give up on the applesauce last night as it felt like it stung my mouht a little and I couldn't swallow it easily--I think I was just tired. I plan on trying agaon later). Chris, thanks a lot for posting what you found about the shaker exercises since I didn't have time to search on it. I am going to add those to all the other things I'm doing to try to get better!

I am having a hard time being good about dossilving 5 of those thrush tablets a day in my mouht. Yeserday I dod 4 and was feeling so nausdeated by the 4th I couldn't bring myself to do another. I'm netioning this ebcause, again, if I say it here it seems to help keep me on top of things.

Nelie
