Tongue piercing loss of taste

Common Questions and Answers about Tongue piercing loss of taste

tongue

Avatar f tn Smell comes from Cranial Never 1 (CN1). The front 2/3 of the tongue come from CN7 and the back 1/3 of the tongue comes from CN9. They all enter the skull through different routes, so the only common point for damage would be the brain itself. About 90% of taste is smell. The tongue can only perceive sweet, sour, salt, & bitter, the rest is all smell.
Avatar f tn Taste is valued sensation; it does elevate one’s mood. Loss of taste sensation can occur with local causes like tongue injury or burns. It can also occur due to central causes like lesions in the brain or cranial nerves. But as you have been thoroughly tested, it’s unlikely that any structural or organic causes are responsible for your loss of taste sensation. Unfortunately even with all the investigations done, sometimes the cause may never be found.
Avatar m tn As for the loss of taste..we were actually just discussing this on another thread, but more when it happens post op. I remember getting metallic taste b4 surgery and definitely after...which would affect my taste. I am sure as things like your gag reflex and swallowing become to be affected that it would also affect the nerve to your tongue as well. I know for me that sometimes coffee will taste great and other times it tastes awful...and I have noticed it with other foods as well.
Avatar f tn LOSS OF FEELING IS NOT UNCOMMON IN MS, THOUGH NOT EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH MS. LOSS OF TASTE IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS NOT UNCOMMON IN PEOPLE WHO TAKE SSRI'S FOR ANXIETY OR DEPRESSION. MY MOTHER HAS JUST HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO HER AFTER HAVING A TUBE DOWN HER THROAT DURING AN OPPERATION AND THE SURGEON DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER OTHER THAN IT BEING ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS, MY POINT IS THAT THE CAUSE ISNT WIDELY UNDERSTOOD EVEN BY THE MEDICAL WORLD.

Avatar f tn I have to mention that since April 2008 I experience persistent acid/ metal/ burning sensation on the top and sides of my tongue also on the sides of chicks from inside - NO OTHER SYMPTOMS NO HEARTBURN AND NOTHING ELSE. Dotcor put me on LOZEC 5 weeks but didn't find any minute releif so he stopped it for me, later on it startedto go by itself and back. My appetite started to be little bit less (I was breastfeeding). COULD IT BE SOME STOMACH ACIDITY ISSUE?
Avatar n tn They are formations of scar tissue that grow after trauma or piercing of a body part is done. The other possibility is of a cyst which is formed when irritants like oil, sweat, dirt, perfume, hairspray and lots of other things can aggravate a piercing and cause an infection. It will create a growth filled with blood, puss, and or sebum but it is usually painful and may discharge pus or blood. If it is a keloid that you are having, then surgical excision is to be done.
Avatar f tn I never removed my tongue piercing during labour. The only one I ever took out during pregnancy was my belly ring, and it went right back in after delivery.
1028079 tn?1267065621 some of my first documented neuro symptoms were loss of taste, facial numbness and balance issues, sensation feeling like i'm swallowling my tongue. over the years when i have the loss of taste and facial numbness i know i'm going to have a few week of it and then it goes away. no doubt something neuro with me i take cymbalta for pain/irritability. i haven't noticed a correlation with it or the above.

Avatar n tn Previously two days ago dry cough started again along with headache and fever (up to 102 F) and for the last 2-3 days i was feeling drowsy and tired as well as had white coating on my tongue and blisters on the back of my tongue. Apart from tonsil i have no gland swollen and have no other symptom like the weight loss or rashes. I had unprotected sex with my girl friend 6 months ago who has multiple piercing (from piercing guns) but no other sexual relationship.

Avatar m tn Before I had gone to see the doctor, I had noticed maybe once or twice a loss of focus but thought nothing of it. A few days after my visit to the doctor, I had the biggest headache I had ever gotten yet. After that, I have since had daily loss of focus in my eyes. It has been constant, I never feel like I am fully focused. Sometimes my eyes, burn, so I thought it was dryness of eyes. But I've been using eye drops and nothing has changed.
Avatar n tn I got my tongue pierced about a year and half ago, but I have suddenly got a lot of ulcers in around my mouth and my tongue and gums are swollen and i just wanted to know if that had anything to do with my tongue piercing. my tongue piercing looks pretty normal apart from the fact that my tongue is swollen and the end of it is numb and funny feeling as if i've burnt the to of it.
Avatar f tn I had my tongue pierced but my doctor advised me to take it out because it would of been dangerous for me to swallow the ball :-/ I miss it

727554 tn?1275754768 Don't know how much weight you have to lose, but how about waiting until the weight is lost, then get the piercing? Use the piercing as an incentive to lose the weight - sort of a "treat" for both you and your hubby to look forward to. Just think of how sexy you would feel!! Yep, that's what I'd do. lol.
Avatar n tn NO...touching the condom afterwards does not transmit hiv. you never had a risk for contracting hiv.
Avatar f tn Ice skating concussion to the back of the head, loss of smell, taste, and also ringing in ears. This is all terrible, but could be worse. Many say I am lucky to be alive and functioning. I just keep moving forward as best I can with my busy family. I still enjoy texture and temperatures of food. I'm eating totally healthy food that I ordinarily wouldn't care for.
Avatar n tn he said alot of people have because he said think of it this way...your tonge is how you taste and its only use to that...so now you just let someone basically stab it with a needle....what do you your body would do if you were stabbed?...ITS GOING INTO SHOCK MODE BECUASE ITS NOT USE TO IT....she finally got her feeling back....but i liked how he explainned it in full detail and made it make sence....hopefully it helps you or at least takes the ease off somewhat...best of luck to you!!
Avatar m tn The girl was 22 years old from Poland. She had one tongue piercing which went right through her tongue and one lips piercing. She gave me fellatio for some 3-5 minutes and then she did vigorous handjob and then fellatio again. She then did handjob again until I ejaculated. I removed the condom and could see the semen inside. However I am worried since she had piercings and this could have made holes in the condom and let viruses through.
