I have no idea where the blisters are coming from, but they really hurt.
And I don't have any idea how you can bite the inside of your upper lip, but I do it all the time.
Is this because my teeth are misaligned??

I am writing for advice because this problem is really starting to worrying me.
I have a strange problem in my tongue since June (about six months now). I have the following symptoms:
- White tongue
- Irritated taste buds (sometimes painful)
- Hypersalivation
- Teeth marks in the border
I think the white tongue is product of the excessive saliva. My saliva is white and foamy.
You can see pictures of my tongue here:

Notice the raised tastebuds in the front part of my tongue. Does are sore specially if I talk too much (due the friction of my tongue and teeths). Sometimes my tastebuds are sore because I think they are "broken" (I don't know how to say: like if I click on them with a nail to pop them up)

Raised tastebuds in the border side of my tongue

Notice the borders of my tongue. Teeth marks are specially noticiable in the mornings:

I have been tested for several things. Tested 5 times for HIV (Negative) out to 9 months from last sexual exposure with 4th generation Elisa.
Tested also for Hep B, Hep C, Syphilis, etc. (Negative). Tested positive for Herpes 1/2 (reinfection?), also tested positive for CMV, EBV, Hep A and HPV-16 (being in treatment now with ISOPRINOSINE).My dermatologist thought to irritated tastebuds could be due HPV, but the treatment does not do anything.
Tested positive for yeast (oral swab) in June. Two tests done around September, and another in October were negative yeast.
These strange symptoms in my tongue ocurred about 4 months after I had a sexual encounter with a girl. I am not sure if my tongue problems are related to that.
Does this looks like a virus? Does it looks like a geographic tongue? Have you ever seen a case like this? Do I need a biopsy?
Your advice will be greaty appreciated. My quality of life has decreased a lot because of this issue.
Thank you in advance.View Thread
On a scale of 1 to 10, the pain factor would be a 3 or 4 at most (I've felt a 9 or so from infected wisdom teeth before!).
On the initial visit to my dentist to have it checked out, he took an x-ray and there was no sign of decay/cavity. He did a clean (there was a small amount of calculus) and told me to give it a couple weeks and come back to him if it still hurts.
... which I did last week as it was still bothering me. This time he did a "bite test" and noticed that I was biting down on that one particular tooth heavily (thinking that may be causing the pain) so he performed an occlusal adjustment on the tooth to take load off it when I bite/chew.
Unfortunately the tooth is still the same a few days later and I'm thinking the problem is not with my bite.
He did also mention initially that it may need a root canal, but wasn't too willing to go to that extent as there were none of the other "common" symptoms of that being the case (aside from the pain obviously) ... no cavity, no sign of infection, the tooth responds well to a "cold sensitivity" test, and there is no additional pain when he tapped on it with his metal dentist tool thing.
It doesn't wake me up in the middle of the night, it doesn't flare up when I'm eating and doesn't seem to increase in pain with hot/cold/sugary foods (if anything I don't notice it as much when eating). It just kind of hurts on the same level all the time although some days it's a bit more/less than others but the pain is always there (although it's slightly less when I wake up in the morning).
Any ideas what's going on here ? Appreciate any advice, thanks.View Thread
I don't know what this is. my doctor said it may be acid...so she gave me zantac.
not sure if its visible on this photos. i can post more. it has gotten worst by week(s)
im not yellowing of the eyes/skin...yet its odd. (i still want my liver to be checked just in case)
i brush my tongue gently 3 times a day with hydroperoxide as my doctor said. it started in the upper tongue and last night it spread downward.
its concerning me. almost 2 weeks, and no improvement. I have enough health issues to get something else

When I went to get it refilled, my regular dentist wasn't the one who fixed it, the filling was painful, they didn't numb me. I was crying and the dentist didn't stop. Basically, I was traumatized.
The filling was lopsided and was pushing against my other front tooth. That filling fell out a mere 6 hours later.
I got that one replaced again, with my new dentist, but since the last dentist had made it painful by making the filling press against the other tooth, I asked the dentist to make a gap in between my teeth.
I was young and foolish and I regret that decision. Is there anyway to fill this gap? Can I return to the dentist and tell him my mistake? It's been a year and I officially hate my smile. It pains me to think about it and I hate it. What can I do?View Thread

Is this normal to happen to my legs after General Anesthesia? Movement and massaging them helps a little, but not much.
I'm eighteen, don't smoke or drink, and have good blood pressure. I was also given prescriptions for Hydrocodone, Amoxicillan(sp?), and a steroid to reduce swelling. Could this be a side effect of one of those?
Thank you for any help!View Thread
