Week 5

started the week with some pain, but again it's receded.

the burning is also less frequent - sometimes it's more just like a really dry, scratchy feeling. It also only affects the outer edge of my tongue and sometimes the tip. Haven't had any severe pain since Saturday evening and it's now Thursday morning.

fingers crossed it stays that way!

Update at the end of Week 5 - this week the pain was less than before, and the times it became bad it was never as bad as the early weeks, and I noticed it was better after each pain cycle. I now have only tingly/dry/raspy feeling on the side of my tongue that sometimes spreads to the rest of the tongue but then goes away.

It definitely gets worse if I'm tired or ill.
