Hi Lisa,

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.
