Title: Metallic taste anyone??
Post by: carjon0 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!

I'm  3yrs post op translab and I still have the metallic taste also I can't eat anything with tomato or vinegar as it makes the taste worse.

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.
