It appears like it's beginning to get interesting. I was doing effectively until a couple of days ago once the mouth sores arrived in a significant way. One i'm all over this the roof of my mouth has been excessively painful for a coupoe of days.

    Anne try L-Glutamine powder

    or Gelclair to help with the mouth sores. Also put mucositis in the search bar for messages to get more suggestions. I hope they don't get too bad.

    Sores

    Been 6 years since my tx, so maybe things have changed some; but, back in the old days, I just used Magic Mouthwash and Biotine. I also had a Nystatin, I think, rinse, to keep Thrush away. Rad  Dr used to tell me about the salt water thing, and I've heard of what Barbara suggested many times. Trial and error time, to see what works best for you. As I also advised someone recently, I had one particular sore that was driving me nuts, and she prescribed Hurricane, which in her prescription form is not a problem if swallowed. Think that would only be for very severe sores, though. Unfortunately, the sores are just a part of it we have to endure with what is available to help.
