Hi all. My name is Thomas. Has anyone in this forum had any experience with "GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE"?? It appears that I have this now. Please read my story in "Introduce Yourself / happytobealive" When it first appeared it scared the hell out of me! After some Google searching I found out that there is nothing to worry about. (I hope) There might be a connection between lack of saliva during eating and vitamin B and zinc in my diet. I am not sure about that. I would like to hear from anyone with similar experiences. I don't think there is an connection between my past tongue cancer and this. I am going to email my surgeon, and will ask him as well. All comments are welcome! Cheers. Thomas in Calgary, AB
