Hi Everyone,
Really tough time recently. Wondering if anyone on here can share experiences.
Earlier this year mega (after a super stressful 12 months personally) sore gums at back of mouth, followed by feeling that back of tongue & throat were swollen on one side. I'd had COVID a month or so before that.
Dentist checked & couldn't really see much.
I have always had severe health anxiety, so symptoms persisted.
Roll on a few months & a really sore & red patchy tongue. Tip was burning & I was losing patches of taste buds. That would last for a couple of weeks & then resolve.
Yellow coating noticed by nurse & tested for thrush but negative. Was given the treatment anyway & that helped.
After treatment it got worse.
Tongue felt like it was swollen & I was having trouble talking. It kinda wasn't though.
Metallic taste in mouth & tongue felt like it had been boiled.
Again, losing large areas of akin from tongue & left with red areas, that eventually resolve.
Had some bloods done.
Vit B12 & thyroids etc all fine.
Kidneys & liver fine.
Cholesterol mega high, was treated with statins & came down quickly + diet changes as well.
Ferritin slightly high, just out of normal range.
Testosterone low & out of normal range.
I feel mega fit apart from the horrible mouth symptoms.
Last night my tongue was moving uncontrollably in mouth during the night. Tongue also has teeth marks on it.
Anyone there to comment?
Thanks
