Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
I am now at 10 months from treatment. Not much has changed for me since 6 mo.
I still have: Dry mouth & sometimes fight infections. Stiff neck & head aces off & on. Taste is not back to normal but I can taste things here and there. (NO spicy stuff) I still get tired and must rest in the after noon. My thyroid is still being checked. (my body temperature is way off) I did have my esophagus dilated this last month. I was choking a lot. Not sure if this was much help for you. Everyones rate of recovery is different. I keep looking for changes every month. It is a long waiting period.
