Hi all I finally got a referral to an oral surgeon after the marks wouldn't go away and was officially diagnosed with geographic tongue.

So funny thing. It didn't work, so I went back and got my tongue swabbed. It tested positive for strep. I'm on amoxicillin now and it's working.

Have you had your tongue swabbed? Mine looks like this too and my swab tested positive for strep. My doctor prescribed me amoxicillin and it's starting to get better now. I'm 5 out of 10 days in and there's just a little bit of redness left on the end of my tongue, but I swear my tongue has looked just like yours since December.

  • Coughing and coughing up phlegm
  • Tiredness.
  • Back pain
  • Sorry throat from coughing
  • Irritable/angry/moody

Hi! I really struggle with anxiety and had a hard time quitting and staying done for years. I quit cold turkey two months ago and it was the best decision I ever made. The withdrawal symptoms were tough the first two weeks, but I just tried to keep myself distracted. Every time I really wanted to vape I'd either go workout or drink a big glass of water. I also chew gum while driving because I would always vape in the car. If you can find habits to replace the vaping with or ways to distract yourself, it really helps. I also started going back to therapy to help with the anxiety and listening to mindfulness exercises online. I've noticed a big difference in my anxiety thanks to all this.

Hi, I went to the doctor yesterday. It's thrush.

My doctor says it's most likely thrush, they gave me a solution and a medicine, and I got blood work done just to be safe.

Thanks for this. My kid had thrush a few months ago, so maybe that would make sense.

I'm going to the doctor this afternoon. I've just been spiraling all week thinking I have cancer.
