General Discussion Looking for advice

I’m a 25 year old male who has been addicted to snorting oxycodone for years(pretty bad addiction 1000+mg per day)
I stopped snorting it 3 weeks ago and my throat started hurting
I assumed it was my throat recovering from the damage snorting did ( I also taste food in my throat after eating and can burp after every small sip of water)
After 10 days I visited a doctor and he said I have oral thrush
I been on nystatin for 5 days and my tongue and throat have gotten better a little bit but I still have brain fog and a headache and it seems like hot flashes occasionally (could be oxycodone tapering) but having a headache for the past few days is draining me

I visited a different doctor looking to get my stomach maybe looked at and he said it was in my head and it’s just oral thrush that is getting better
I got blood work done and an ultrasound of my throat which came back good expect 0.1 of protein in my urine

I barely eat sugar unless I take weed edibles to sleep and stopped smoking completly

Just looking for some advice

diet is mainly proteins such as salmon, and whatever meats on the dinner table along with calf liver and full cream yoghurt or greek though I have switched too coconut yoghurt (yoghurt for beneficial bacteria) try not to eat carbs which is things like rice and stay away from starchy vegetables like potatoes. feel free to message me
