Its also really hard to explain to someone what it sounds like. Its almost like a throbbing in your head. I think mine is from the tubes I had to have put in my ears to do the hyperbaric treatments. Only my left side is affected, which is also the side my cancer was on both times.
I just wrote down a recipie for a milk shake for Bill (wfc). This might help yoru husband with keeping his weight stable. I drank several of these per day to keep my calories up. This should be in addition to the PEG feedings and whatever he is taking in now. Even with the PEG tube, I still lost 65 pounds but it would have been much worse if I hadnt discoverd these at the end of my treatments. Here it is again:
3 cups chocolate ice cream
1/2 cup peanutbutter
2 or 3 cups whole milk
1 scoop carnation instant breakfast powder
1/3 cup chocolate syrup drank the shakes.
