Hello guys,

I know I have been more present recently, it is because all kinds of stuff came up.

I just had comprehensive blood work done: metabolic panel, thyroid functions, vitamin B 12 , and Folate, CBC with differential. MY doctor has known me for many years, and he wanted to get everything checked, because he knows the way I am.

One of the things that happened recently that I had some bruising without real injury ( that I remember), and this weird tongue thing, where my left side is sort of sore, and I keep on biting it, almost as if my tongue grew! And it is not like I did not see my dentist recently: I had three dental appointments in the past year, one the last one maybe couple of months ago, or shorter. Everything fine.

My doctor on Wednesday also looked at my tongue, and inside the whole mouth, and he said that the flesh and skin look normal, and there is no sign of tongue inflammation, but there are new scallops and he said : "You are really biting it, aren't you"?

All my labs, thank dear God, came completely normal, including thyroid issues or lack of vitamins, which could potentially cause tongue problems. So I am really trying to relax, but the mere feeling of my tongue being sore on the left and just CONSTANTLY under my teeth, is driving me crazy, because I do not have an explanation for why this has RECENTLY started happening, all of a sudden! I did not have any teeth pulled recently. I do not know what to do. I looked today again, in the mirror, and it really does not look big or inflamed. But - there are new scallops on the left side, where I never had them.

What shall I do? Any suggestion, or piece of advice hugely appreciated.

Lana
