tongue and odd taste

[Guest guest]

me again,

since I tried going back to work last week, it seems i have an almost constant

funny taste or feeling on my tongue. It's whitish only sometimes. Triggers

make the taste worse. If i'm walking my dog around my block, which was tarred a

whole year ago, i can even taste the tar now. I've been on the Cholasyramine

about 2 1/2 weeks now. When i'm at my neighbor's, which didn't bother me before,

it bothers me now. What do you think is going on?? Am I getting worse or

better? Could it be i'm detoxing? Or getting large doses of yuck at work for

those few days? felice

Felice,

While I have been silent here for awhile I wanted to chime in here on this one

in particular. This has been an issue for me from the very beginning about a

year ago. Lets compare notes here for a moment. I have had a constant taste both

on my tongue and in my throat. I would consider it to be a metallic sort of

taste. It has made no difference as I recall whether or not I was taking the

CSM. The only thing that might be different between you and I is that I do

smoke. The taste of the cigarettes are not the same any more and don't help any

I am sure. I also cough up what I consider black stuff from my lungs. At first

it was light and has worsened over time. Upon close examination it looks like

black speckles in the mucous. I have read that when aspergillus and or

stachybotrys settles in the lungs you can cough up brown plugs. This is what I

am guessing it is. At first I thought it was caused by my smoking but after

talking to many people this seems unlikely (Although

quiting is still inevitable). Whether this has anything to do with the taste or

not I can't say for certain but I have noticed that the longer I go with out a

cigarette the worse or stronger the taste becomes. I find myself having a nasty

smoke to try to cover the nasty taste. I brush my teeth often to no avail and

food changes nothing. I have also noticed that it gets stronger near any

plastics. Especially like in the plastic aisle in walmart. Like you, as time

goes on I notice things nobody else seems to notice like at a friends house or a

restaurant or somewhere. I can tell when I am in a contaminated area (I believe)

by itchy fingertips and skin. My sinus's begin to get runny as opposed to stuffy

and my headache and the taste worsen. This is not proven by testing but my own

process of elimination. Tell me how this compares to what you are experiencing.
