My tongue is having a terrible time today. It doesn't matter what I eat, my tongue feels like it has just licked 50 envelopes and I can't get ride of the awful taste. Awful, horse-hoof gummy taste. Blech. This experience makes me appreciate my tongue, and it's usual ability to taste yummy things, all the more.
I googled my symptom, and it came up with things like gum disease and tooth abscess. I haven't seen the dentist in a while (no insurance), but my coverage under my new job will start soon. But I hope that my tongue gets better sooner than that. I could also have jaundice. My skin has been looking pretty yellow lately. Ach! I just wikipedia'd jaundice and the pictures were so scary I immediately had to close the window. I will never complain about looking like a Simpsons character again. The taste isn't metallic, so it can't be mercury or lead poisoning. Thank goodness. It helps to not have any enemies with access to my food supply.
I tried running minty floss over my tongue. Bad idea. It stung and the taste became even more intense. I scraped my tongue. Didn't help. I'll use some mouthwash before going to bed, and I'll hope that a good night's rest will bring my tongue to a full recovery.
