I appreciate the insight - thanks! I've been up this morning for 30min. and there is no pain and no lump. I'm trying hard not to mess with my tongue at all for as long as I can during the day. Talking, of course, wouldn't count. Haha. But, I want to see if there is something to that biting, nipping, playing with your tongue that aggravates it. Seems obvious, I know. But, that part of my tongue was already manipulated 20 years ago, so it's a constant source of attention in my mind now that it's giving me issues - i.e., is there something wrong, etc.

I'm trying to figure out what to do with my ENT visit this coming Friday. I feel like it's probably getting to be my last chance to have something done this medical billing year. I.E., if a scan did make sense, now's the time to do it before my deductible starts over.

Enjoy your Sunday and thanks again!
