Yes, it so frustrating how what works wonders for some, does nothing for others. Like John, I was so excited about getting the "Magic Mouthwash" - which quickly turned to big time disappointment as it made me vomit each and every time I used it. It seemed so wasteful to throw out that big bottle back in 07, made even worse when they tried a new formulation of magic mouthwash with just the lidocaine and benadryl, still unable to tolerate it. So I had to throw 2 big bottles out in the end.
Meanwhile, almost all the other patients in the waiting room for radiation had tremendous results with the magic mouthwash. go figure
