Was doing well. after having all my lower teeth removed before radiation had to get a peg. Two mouths after radiation started being able to take soup and pureed foods by mouth. Started speech therapy to learn how to swallow again. Tongue exercises stared giving me extreme pain and swelling. Now my lip n chin feel as if they have severe sunburn with shooting pain through the jaw and gums. pain meds don't last but about 2 hours and now they say the pain will increase for about a week after I start oxygen treatments. Oh boy. This is my first time ever trying to talk about this in a forum. I guess I want to ask is if anyone has done the Hyperbaric treatments and have they been helpful in the long run. Also any other suggestions to help keep my spirits up. Thank You and God Bless
