Over 4 months from tx now and still not much improvement. I tried a donut this morning and on top of being really dry, it tasted like rancid grease. And I used to love donuts.

Now I'm nice and slim and I'll have to find a new priority other than eating. One of the most annoying side effects of rad is the plugged & clicking ear syndrome.
