Just wondered who here has a scalloped tongue (also known as pie crust... mmmm!), where your tongue is slightly enlarged and so pushes on the inside of your teeth and leaves indentations. This was one of the very first symptoms I noticed over 10 years ago. It’s not something discussed much and just wondered if anyone knew exactly what causes it and how to get rid of it?!
I have another fun symptom that I will post separately about !!
Well, that could be due to hypo, or low vit B12. Have you had your B12 tested?
Hi greygoose, I’m on my hols at the moment but ordered a load of blue horizon blood tests yesterday for when I get back. Several years ago the GP tested my b12 which I was low on and had a years course of weekly b12 injections. It didn’t do much for the tongue but did give me much more energy and got rid of some fogginess. I haven’t been tested since.
So you say hypo? So it may be I’m just not optimally medicated for hypothyroidism? I’m on 112 mcg of Levo, my TSH is suppressed and my free T4 is elevated well above the range. I was wondering if I had a conversion issue? Hence the test orders for when I get back! X
You very well could have a conversion issue. But you won't know unless you get your FT4 and FT3 tested at the same time.
