Something is going on with my tongue.

Finally a long over-due post. There still is not a whole lot new to report. Still dealing with the dizziness, nausea and fatigue. I am trying to get out and walk more often, which definitely does seem to help. It's really strange as when I walk and especially when I get my heart rate up my dizziness gets a lot worse. I'm always glad I have the stroller in front of me that I use to keep my balance.

I do have something exciting to report and that is about my tongue. It's a good-news/bad-news thing, but ultimately it will be good news. The good news is that I'm starting to get some feeling back in my whole tongue. That bad news is that it feels really weird/awful. I'm not sure how to describe the feeling but the best I can say is that it feels like when the dentist's freezing is coming out, combined with a metal taste. I actually prefer it to be totally numb, except that this means that it's on the road to recovery. Still no sign of any tears in my eye, but hopefully that will be in the "works" as well.

  1. Hi Ingrid:

    Have you talked to your neurosurgeon about a referral for vestibular therapy to help you with your balance and dizziness? It is amazing what some therapists can do to help.


    With continued prayers for you,
