Tingling Tongue, worse at night that is NOT thrush?

My tongue gets a tingly/burning like sensation in the middle every afternoon and worsens in the evening. I have a dry mouth most of the morning. My doc said it is not thrush. Gave me a steroid shot and gave me nasonex. I am hoping this nasonex works. He also ran some blood tests to test for other things-- like vitamin deficiencies. I take a b-12 every day and I was taking a calcium/magnesium every day but he told me to not take any until he gets the results on the blood work. I really don't understand that. I know I lack b-12 and probably need even MORE than I take every day because my lips also get very dry and crack at the corners at times. My ears are always full of fluid, or feel full too- he said the nasonex should help with that. I HOPE SO! I don't know how long it takes to work. Anyone else experience this? Along with muscle cramps in legs/hands/feet at night? I have to use an electric massager on my legs EVERY night and I take calcet pills at night before bed to help with that. My doc said he saw post nasal drip, maybe that is attributing to the tingling tongue. My question is why is it only worse in the evening? I could barely feel it this morning, I mainly just had a dry mouth. Foods make it worse in the evening too. I'm just SO tired of this. It's been almost 4 weeks. I know I will get answers soon... I was just hoping maybe someone else out there has gone through this and can share their story or what their results were. Thanks!

    wow, not cool what you are going thru. and yikes, so many drugs you are trying!

    it sounds like you have a digestive issue as the culprit, and your doctor is just guessing, right? expensive guessing at that!

    are you up to try something natural and completely different?

    "" Pizza Mouth Burn

    I am in the Air Force and in my current job as a staff member in DC, I travel normally 3 weeks out of 4 every month. One day I was extremely late for the airport (not wanting to get stuck in the security checks), and as I passed a pizzeria heading for my gate, I darted in for a hot slice of pizza (very unusual as I strive to eat organic and healthy). Not thinking (because my stomach was rumbling) I pulled it out of the box and bit into this VERY HOT slice of cheese pizza. Needless to say, the hot cheese welded itself to the roof of my mouth and burned it terribly. For the next 3 hours on the plane, I couldn't even drink water without it hurting and the pain seemed to be intensifying. When I arrived at my location and checked into my room, I decided to get my bottle of clay out and drink some. The results were unbelievable...the pain, soreness, throbbing was instantly gone...and never returned!!! There is no other explanation for what happened except the living clay stopped the blistering and pain related to a burn and healed my mouth. - Dan R.

    Hot Pizza Bite –Clay to the Rescue

    A few weeks ago, I had made a pizza for dinner. It smelled so good coming out of the oven! Even though I knew better, I cut a slice and took a big bite...and promptly burned the daylights out of my tongue and the roof of my mouth! I ran to the den where I keep some ready-mixed clay in a mason jar. I scooped out about two tablespoons of cool clay into my mouth and just held it there. About fifteen minutes later I chased it down with a glass of water...and the burning pain was gone! The pizza had cooled down in the mean time and I had a wonderful, pain-free dinner! What did we ever do before clay came along?! –Jamie C. "" from aboutclay dot com
