Ah! Right! Alabama. See a root woman if no doctor is in range.

Checked genetics, nowhere in my family history have i heard of it. To help isolate the problem, i've been on Mucinex D for about 2 weeks before all this and have been taking antibiotics for a sinus infection and typical allergies. I've been off it now for a week or more and as far as trying to put two together, that's all i've come up w/. Been drinking plenty of water, i get my vitamins, and i'm not taking in too many spices. Not under any particular stress lately other than the usual (which isn't much).

Mine has been going on for several years now and just waxes and wanes. I've just gotten used to it by now. Your's may be related to you recent illness, so I'd wait for a little while. Maybe it will go away by itself.

Think smoking would irritate it or in any way impede the healing process?

Could be just a alergic reaction to some type of tobaccos. Try something different. But see your doctor first!

We don't take kindly to yer type around these parts

But man I hope you get that straightened out. Last time I had "diblets" on my tongue I just went down to the health department and told them about the chick. Antibiotic cleared it right up.. you know how it goes man.. i mean uhhhh.....

And yea, I'd venture to guess smoking probably wouldn't be the best thing in the world for it. It makes colds last longer and sore/irritated throats take longer to heal so I don't see why it would be good for a tongue on the fritz.

been taking my antibiotics for 2 days now and it's starting to fade. May just be a coincidence, thoughts?

The human body can repair itself quite readily if given rest and nutrition, and a positive mental attitude.

Be sure to take some real yogurt after finishing the meds.

Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Fish Oil

Don't listen to the hub bub about extra Nutritional supplements being bad for smokers.

Western Science teaches that nicotine slows down healing. Yet if one does research there is NO academic proof of that. Everybody is just quoting each other. HAH!

I went in for artho-scopic knee surgery and 4 days later I was off pain meds, and 7 days after surgery I was walking 1/2 mile a day. The surgeon said, "You sure heal quick"! I didn't tell him I was was smoking 3-5 bowls / day!

Eat right, get plenty of rest and count your Blessings
