I am still here just having to work and worry about Jerry my husband when I get home from work. He is trying out a new treatment next week hyperbaric oxygen chamber since he is not healing from the surgery and all the radiation that he has had.

He wants to try everything, I came home from work tonight and he was mowing the grass which he shoul not really be doing but he wants to help out. But then later he was sitting here crying cause he is not able to use his device to talk right now and it is very frustrating to him as his sister is coming in from Missouri tommorow and he want to talk to her without the pad and pencil

I will try to keep you posted Terry

Hi Garance, Glad you are back. Sorry about the flu I had a flu shot last year found it was for three years so hope I don't get flu as I get everything eles. Hi Terry, I've had Hyberbaric
treatment didn't like very much gave me migranes
so you need to have them watch your husband. See if they can start with slow dives for him. Some had a lot of sucess. So I wish him luck with it. Let me know how it goes. It also ran up my blood pressure. Take Care Cathy

If you are lucky, like I was:

You may have a salivary gland stone at the duct outlet under the front tip of your tongue.
Mine was about the size of a children's asprin and the ENT doctor cut it out from under the front tip of my tounge with a scaple and novacaine in his office. He just lifted my tounge and cut a slit under it and pulled it out with a tweezers.

Your symptoms sound exactly like mine. I was surprised to find out a blockage under the front of my tounge would cause the puffing under my jaw near my neck.

After stone removal, I was back to normal in 1 or 2 days.

Make sure you see a good ENT. The first doctor I went to completely misdiagnosed it.

Hi Cat, when I got home, I found a message to say a nurse had called to give me a 'flue jab, well the winters over, and really calling on the off chance she must be bonkers, maybe she had stuff left over, so I will give the Doc a call next week. Re the saliva glands, it's tough with no spit; and I have that Blxxdy fungal infection hanging in, so bored rigid with all of this. BIG BEAR HUGS

Hi Vicki I have only just discovered this site & am slowly working my way through it to see how it works.For a start where do I write things? How do I introduce myself & family. Where do I see answers or replies. I really have no idea I am just a shy beginner. Hope this reaches someone & I can join a chat group or something. John M
