Okay last week I started getting a strange metallic taste in my mouth and thought maybe it was IN water which I wasn't used to. It's gotten worse this week. Today it's so bad my tongue and throat feel numb. I can't eat anything. It all tastes more or less like cholorseptic. Even my mouth wash didn't get rid of it. In fact when I tried that the bad taste seemed to surge to overwhelm the mouthwash.

I have no clue what this could be. Might go to urgent care tomorrow if it's still there because the numbness and loss of taste are signs of SOMETHING.

Have you checked your gums and general soft tissues in there? I've had that sort of thing creep up from infections.

Yikes! I hope it's nothing serious.

Yikes.

That kind of thing can result from an upset digestive track, too.

According to a recent episode of _House_ that's a symptom of kidney failure, but you'd be dead by now if that were the case. So I guess it's just arsenic poisoning. Time to start patting down your failing students when they come into class.

Uh, yeah, I'd think so. *worries*

Let us know what the result is...

I hope it's nothing major. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

very strange. i've heard of weird tastes in mouths being the sign of some illness, but you'd know a helluva lot better than i would.

good luck. here's hoping it's just the filling in the tooth and can be fixed easily, or just one of the new meds.
