Loss of taste

This might be unrelated but has anyone had problems with their tongue and mouth? it feels like my tongue has been burnt and I have lost taste. Everything tastes alkaline, like baking soda. My mouth hurts and my throat has been sore. It's not Covid. My mouth has also been extremely dry.

Thank you.

yes, things can taste “off” at times.

Sometimes meds can give you a bad taste, but it probably wouldn't cause you pain. You should probably ask your doctor about it. It might not be serious, but better to get it checked out. Besides, it sounds really unpleasant. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!😊

Thanks so much. I only take vitamins D3 and B12. The pain went away after 4 days but the dryness and lack of taste has not gone away. If it continues, I'll have it checked out. Yes, it is so unpleasant. Even water tastes bad.

Love the quote, unfortunately! I hate all the new stuff that happens both with MS, and with age! This wasn't here yesterday - let's go back to yesterday! Or better yet, for me, 2019. I was feeling pretty good then! ☹️

2019 was better for a lot of reasons.

Hello Flowerdragon, Sorry to hear about your discomfort. You might want to “check-in” with your doctor and also review side effects of possibly some of medications. There are some with side effects of “dry mouth.” Get note of when you noticed it so you and doctor can get a clear picture. Sending prayers your way, hope it gets better soon 🙏
