Does anyone else have a sore tongue!!!
Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2013 2:51 pm
Hi all! I don't normally participate in forums so hope I'm entering my query in the right place!
I just wanted to ask if anyone else suffers orally with H Pylori? I have such a sore tongue and mouth in fact these were the first symptoms that initially took me to the doctors back in April. My tongue feels like its on fire, its quite swollen, rather pale and grey in colour, cracking down the middle but raw at the tip. My taste buds have completely gone and everything appears sour or metallic! The doctor initially gave me antibiotics incase it was oral thrush (although looks nothing like the images I've seen for this on Google!) but they had no effect. After a few more weeks the burning seemed to spread from my mouth down my throat, chest, stomach and lower... Basically from my mouth to backside burns!! My stomach gurgles, i have periods of nausea and constant aching pain to right abdomen and back. My ears ring, muscles often feel twitchy and chest flutters through out the day. After another trip to the doctors a blood test showed up H Pylori and I had my 1 week of triple therapy. That was now 12 weeks ago and although I felt there was perhaps an initial improvement all symptoms have basically returned. The doctor says that its unlikely that the bug has come back so quickly but perhaps the antibiotics never eradicated it in the first place? And my biggest worry of all is that this is perhaps something more sinister as I've never felt so 'completely' unwell for such a long period of time. Can anyone else identify with this especially the mouth discomfort as that is making me miserable? Thank you in advance for any replies! X
