sometimes but im thinking that this is an
allergic reaction to something---either
that or you have develooped geographical
tongue---how long and how oftgen do you
get this sensation. is there anything else
that accompanies it?

I get it a few times a month.. normally
around bed time.... My doc said that I
grind my teeth a lot in my sleep I
wondered if maybe this could cause it.. I
see a specialist on the 12th and am not
sure what to expect. Normally it goes
along with the sensation of tired tight
muscles in my face and neck area.

Have you seen a chiropraxtor? i also think
you should get into a neuromuscular
dentist.---gargle with salt water and see
if that helps your tongue any

I get this sometimes after I eat and I
have TMJ. I am not sure if it is
definetely a common symptom of TMJ and I
know that Dyan knows a great deal more
than I do. I don't know TMJ may present
itself differently in different people but
I would take her advice and go see a
neuromuscular dentist just in case.
