Raw tongue

my tongue is really sensitive. it's sore and feels swollen. My mom says it sounds like a vitamin deficiency. I"ve tooled around the net and figured it could be a B3 (niacin) deficiency, or anemia.

I already take a multivitamin, guess I'll up that. As far as the anemia goes, last bloodwork showed I was anemic. My primary doctor took some blood today and by thursday I should have my referral to the hemotologist for iron infusions.

meanwhile, all food makes me nauseus (sp) and I've started having head aches. The only protein I can tolerate are my shakes. which I might have to up to 3, if this keeps up.

I'm a bit worried.

Could it be thrush?

I had thrush right after I had my operation. it's nothing like that. my whole tongue is sore and there is no coating, like with thrush.

Sorry, Dana.  Definitely something you need to check into.

I was a bit worried that this post was going to contain a recipe!

LOL ! OMG, and what a nasty recipe that would be, yuk! Thanks for the laugh.

I had the same thing and ran to the doctor thinking it was my vits, turns out it is Cinnamon gum that was doing it.

I'm gonna check what i've eaten for the past 3 days. See if there's anything new. it could just be a allergic reaction. Thanks.
