Ok, I'm on day 6 and have read horror story after horror story. And knock on solid f*****g wood, none of that has plagued me. (Trust me, I live in fear of the worst every time I wake up). It's actually been a cake walk except for 2 things. My tongue and coughing. Everyine says not the cough but I've been doing it since day to and if I try not to, then I end up chocking. Not fun. So I stopped fighting it. And up until today they havent hurt my throat but now there's a stinging sensation. But I can't stop coughing so I'm dealing with it, could be worse right? Right. My tongue hurts to high heaven on the sides when I wake up. And thorughout the day, no matter what I try to eat that isnt cold, hurts. Eggs, back, Ramen, etc anything that requires chewing irritates he sides of my tongue and it feels like fire. Even APPLESAUCE hurts, like wtf. I'm on top of my meds like a nun in a catholic church is on top of her prayers. Plently of water and popsicles as instructed. Please, any tips anout the tongue thing? The cough I can handle. I just want this over with!
