The funny thing is the sensation with the
tongue that you mention is the SAME feeling that I get since I had the Chiari
surgery (craniotomy, laminectomy, duraplasty). So I do wonder, since we had one of the same procedures done....if that is what caused it? Did you have any swallowing difficulties before the surgery? I had cranial nerve damage (no gag reflex) and I was told that the tongue thing may be the cranial nerves regenerating.
