I really need help as I am about to go insane, this has made my life miserable. It is going to be quite long so if you really want to help me please read it all and provide me with your input. – So 2 years ago an ex-friend gave me these diet pills that she was talking with her husband and mother, they all lost so much weight, she told me they r natural so not to worry bec i am against those things, and since I was desperate to lose weight as my son was already 1yr old, i said what the heck im just going to try it and see what happens. After 3 days I started to feel my mouth drying and my mouth felt acidic. Then I felt something stuck in my throat, insomnia, nausea, like i wanted to vomit, my tongue turned white and started to have fissures in it! my friend said that everything will go away bec she felt few of them and they went away. btw I was taking 1 pill a day on an empty stomach. So after 2 weeks I couldnt anymore and I stopped it. Everything faded away except that my tongue felt like burned, still had fissured and it was white. I felt I was a dragon, like my mouth was on fire! I then waited few months and nothing changed. My mouth tasted disgusting too! the foods i liked didnt taste like before :( then my voice started to become hoarse..
Anyway, went to (1) Gastro had endoscopy said I had GERD all of a sudden and was put on anti acid pills – didnt help (2) went to ENT said I was crazy! and told me I was GERD (3) went to Thyroid doc and did blood test, was tested for VitB deficiency and it was normal, no anemia, nothing bad then referred to another ENT (4) 2nd ENT wanted to test me for Sjogern syndrome so sent me to both joint doc and dermatologist. (5) Joints doc ruled out Sjogern syndrome (6) Dermatologist also ruled it out and said I should see a neurologist to check my tongue nerve (7) saw a Neurologist and said I was fine but if I wanted to try Neurontin I could – so I tried Neurontin and WTF it stopped smelling and tasting things! I stopped it after 4 days.. then gave me Lyrica but was so scared I didnt take it. About 2 weeks ago which now its been 2 years after this started I had a second endoscopy with another Gastro and said I had GERD. I just dont know what is wrong with my mouth. This is the part that mostly bothers me!! It feels sore, sensitive! I read about brushing my tongue and gargle with baking soda but it started to feel raw! my tongue now literally looks like meat that has been passed thru a meat tenderizer! seriously! it looks like the taste buds are inflamed. The tip of my tongue is so sore like no joke! I even dont like kissing my hubby anymore :( which now u know its affecting my life, and relationship. I have no motivation to do anything. I want to lose weight and being uncomfortable with this problem isnt helping me :( I feel so depressed I can commit suicide I swear. I feel a different person always uncomfortable, it is even affecting my mood I swear Im always nervous.
