I had little growths, the Dr. I went to at the time did not say for sure that's what they were, but he thought thats what they may be. Apperantly, my ex cheated so who knows.....

I also have another appointment with an ENT, my third, hopefully I will be going to a different one than the one I went to the first two times-just to have someone else take a look at it.

The GP I went to said it wasn't thrush. The pain/burning/and numb sensations seem to vary in intensity. I have this for about six months, but the pain moved to the top and side of my tongue after smoking 8 cigerettes over two days. It seemed to happen suddenly over a three day period, and the pain was enough it kept me awake until the early morning. I also have a pain in the back of my kneck and my right eye hurts from time to time.

When this all first began, there seemed to be several contributing factors: I had essentially quit chewing, and was smoking lightly-zero to three a day when my brother came for a visit from Japan with his family.
Having social anxiety, and feeling useless I began smoking and chewing again, I also cleaned out a moldy basement where they would be staying with a mixture of harsh chemicals, I was also eating very poorly-fast food primarily-and I was exercising too much.

After all of that, my mouth just blew up. I think I did have thrush as there was a white yogurty substance in my throat. But I quit chewing and resumed smoking lightly-from none to zero. After not smoking for nine days-all my symtoms went away.

But my mom fell off the roof, and broke her leg, she had a very serious concusion, but would not go to the hospital. She does not listen to me, which is a major source of contention, and she is dangerous. Without her, I would be in a precarious situation in more ways than one. Death me even be preferable. So I started smoking again-the eight cigerettes-and that's when the pain seemed to move to the side and underneath my tongue. The area is a very dark red.

I have not drank since I was 25-about 8 years-and even then, compared to most, I was a light drinker. I was always more of a granola, and exercise addict up until a I was 28.

But i definitely feel as though, i have chewed and smoked enough-a whole lot-to of developed cancer. I just kind of went insane-with frustration, disapointment, and confusion. Being a granola didn't work, so I tried something else.
