Week 16

Tuesday 5/1/10
Little crackle and some metallic taste at the front of my tongue on the right hand side - a spot that has been fine. All of the pain/crackle on the underside has gone, though, which is new as that's been a problem for about 6 weeks (and came on when the upperside seemed healed).

Started L-Carnitine 500mg and Alpha Lipoic Acid 100mg today.

Wednesday 6/1/10
Still just the tip of my tongue affected and no crackle on the underside. Feels greasy, tastes a bit metallic, not really painful, just a bit tingly

Thursday 7/1/10
For a few minutes last night tongue was normal, then just a tiny spot of tingling at the tip. It's back again this morning, but it's more that it feels dry and tingly, almost as though there is something on it, and it's over more of the tongue. It's a distinct change. The only thing that's different is that I've taken Lipoic Acid and Carnitine, but I would be surprised if they've made this much difference so quickly. Time will tell...

Friday 8/1/10
Another good day. It was fine all through yesterday and it's feeling pretty good today. Very minor tingle and some mouth dryness - kind of feels like 'cotton mouth' you get with a hangover! At the end of the day there was even an hour when it felt completely normal

Saturday 9/1/10
Pretty good, not perfect, but only a mild off/tingly feeling over the side and tip.

Sunday 10/1/10
Still feeling really good. This is the most sustained period of feeling good I've had since I was injured.

Monday 11/1/10
Yep, still good. I'd say 98%. Feels slightly 'weird', a little watery and greasy but vastly better than it's been in any of the previous weeks.
