> My tongue has indents too, sometimes worse than others and a crack down the

middle and a few indents. From my research the main thing that stood out was

an article that said the indents will dissapear once the thyroid is sorted

(sorry no ref- found it on Google). So yeah, if you're needing T3 then once

you've been on it, they may

> improve/dissapear.

I think it's mainly teeth indents at the sides, but there are a few

earthquake-type crevices in the middle. Actually you should see my Dad's

tongue!! He has a list of medical problems, but his tongue is very dry and

earthquake ridden looking.

What I find odd about all this, is that I never had this first time round,

perhaps there was something about Nutri Thyroid and then Armour that prevented

it in comparison to Levothyroxine?

If a sore tongue is a sign of iron deficiency, then it's a good job the GP

agreed to a prescription of Ferrous Sulphate then! So it could be part iron and

part thyroid related then.

As for any sluggish digestive system. The only thing I can really identify with

is that my stomach is fat looking, probably lack of T3 and all that goes with it

if it means reduced metabolism.

I am on a whole list of nutritional supplements.

4 Nutri Adrenal Extra

Vit C

Vit E

Magnesium

Q10

Selenium

Glutathione

I am not too concerned about absorption at gut level. But perhaps there are

issues with ME/CFS with regards to what actually gets to the cells. We all know

about thyroid hormones in that respect. For example my translocator protein

blood test showed I was low in Magnesium.

So when you see all that I take (seem to be taking supplements at every

opportunity) I would hope it's not a deficiency as such, but perhaps if it is

deficiency related, it's the iron, or reduced metabolism due to the thyroid?

Mandy's experience sounds awful and dangerous!

I will look up the termiology Geographic Tongue.
