I thought I turned around on day 8 then woke up in excruciating pain
I’m currently on day 9. Yesterday was a really good day; I spoke a few words, walked around my apartment a little bit, and ate some yogurt, mashed potatoes, and Mac n cheese which is probably the most food I had eaten during my whole recovery. I was so excited because I thought I was finally close to feeling normal again, but in the middle of the night I woke up with the most absolutely horrific pain, mainly in my ear. Definitely the worst pain I’ve felt through my whole recovery time. The first time it woke me up I took some ibuprofen and then it woke me up again about 2 hours later so I took acetaminophen. The pain is better now with meds but my throat is feeling pretty raw. I’m just so frustrated because I want this to be done, I’m tired of being hungry constantly and only eating mush and not being able to speak and just all of it, and I feel defeated because I thought I was through the peak of it :(
I’m just gonna hope this is normal and keep looking forward to that two week mark.
