Week 17

Tuesday 12/1/10
Starting the week on a positive note, my tongue has been really good for about 5 days now. Feels slightly off, but no pain, barely any tingling and it's certainly not unpleasant. No significant relapses, either.

I could easily live with this if it got no better.

The only other thing that changed was I started taking L-Carnitine and Lipoic Acid but I'm loathe to say they made the difference, even though the change did start when I started on them...

Thursday 14/1/10
Well, the good progress continues. Still feels basically fine, a little 'off' but it's so minor. I have a little of the greasy/watery sensation but no pain and barely any tingling. In fact, I often don't think about it.

Went out sculling in the snow this morning and I swear exercise also helps. It takes my mind off it completely and I feel much better afterwards. Perhaps it's the fear of being mown down by rampaging VIIIs while I'm in a little 2x! Near miss this morning was quite hair-raising!

Saturday 16/1/10
About the same as Thursday, maybe a few more crackly tingles but I figure this is another cycle where the bad part is pretty much what I would have considered a good phase before. I forget it's even there most of the time.

Sunday 17/1/10
Not too bad today, some crackles, some weird taste but mostly fine.

Monday 18/1/10
Worst day this week. Back to being a bit more weird, some weird taste and bit greasy. Slight tingle with a little bad sensation but not quite pain. Along the side.
