I don't think its from the AN..if the MRI in June was ok, most likely it has nothing to do with it. Your description of the way your tongue feels could be a side effect from a medication you are on? If you are on any. I remember having a patient describing almost the same symptoms. It was a side effect of an antidepressant...BTW I have a great doctor that I meet with twice a week ( I am a nurse) I ask her about all kinds of things.....and its free of charge:) So let me know if you want me to check with her about any meds you may be on that could be causing this. Just a thought

Hello JAndrews,

I am not currently taking any meds.  I think it was stress related maybe?  I had the symptoms for a straight week and then they subsided and thank God they are gone now.  Thank you to everyone that responded, love my AN family!  I guess doing too much and stress can cause any AN issues to be more severe.  Thank you again everyone  ;D

God Bless,
