Metallic taste anyone??
« on: June 05, 2014, 02:39:46 pm »
Hello,

I had gamma knife Sept '12, balance  problems, SSD and facial twitching on and off since, but definitely improving, even if it's taking a lot longer than expected.
Lately, if I have an off balance day ( not admitting to being "unbalanced" !  ;D) I have a metallic taste -- like having an old coin in my mouth.
Does this sound familiar???

 :)

I have a salty metallic taste on the right side of my tongue. It's been 3 1/2 months since my translab surgery. I think it is fairly common. Sorry.

I've had a metallic taste ever since surgery, and its been 16 months since my op. Think you just have to grin and bear it!

Yup, funny taste left side, funny sensation early on too, but now I think it is only the taste buds that are still affected…but not something that bothers me a lot.   I eat anything and everything.
