here's a strange ?

Are you taking flagyl right now?

:)

Taking any iron supplements?

I do, but i know its from the Flagyl I just started taking because It started like the day after I started it.

I get a metallic taste & smell to my breath prior to a nasty migraine which is usually triggered by my Imuran.  I've also heard Flaygl will do it too, however, the last time I took it I was on morphine so I don't really remember.

Sorry to get back to this so late. The thing is I'm not on flagal or any new meds. It's not just the taste it's the feel of it too. Like my tongue is numb.

I thought maybe a yeast infection. I have this feeling all over that I have a fungal thing going on. I have asked to go back onto flagal. Doc hasn't gotten back to me on that.

Also my acid reflux is really bad.

It's been going on for about 2 to 3 months. My belly pain seems to be increasing as well. The pain is just to the right of my belly button. Had to ask for pain med for the first time in over a year. I'm used to the pain moving around. This is like little stabs in the same place.

I remember hearing once that a numb tongue could be from MS or a Stoke or mini stroke either way go see your doctor.

Oh well that surely doesn't sound good. Problem with running to the doc. I'm afraid that I'll be told it is something bad. Last week I was in his office and he accused me of drinking in a way. My speech was slurred and I couldn't walk straight. I was aware of it. I didn't think it was as bad as he said though. I was not myself.

The thing I didn't tell him was that I might have hit my head a few times. I was having gut pain but I was also hurting everywhere. I have decided to take up horseback riding. I have a good horse. Had him for 19 years. But my mom bought a horse she can't ride. He's a young pup. And I don't seem to stay on him very well. Our last fall we both went down.

I don't want them to say I can't ride. And if my father knew just how beat up I was due to the horse he'd shoot it. I can't let him get rid of it till I can ride it. Never in all my years have I met a horse I couldn't ride. It's becoming a pride thing. My last fall did crack my helmet? I now know why I perfer really big horse's. There's air time before you hit the ground. If you'r on a small one, you just hit.

Maybe I should say something. It's got me worried now?

Don't worry just had a CT scan this afternoon. As far as I know it's O.K. They said I had a concuion[sp]

No bleed No clots should be O.K. But the tongue thing can't be answered yet. It's driving me crazy. It does feel like it dead. Mangos are very cleansing to the mouth. Pinnaple I don't know. Worth trying though.

As far as the horse goes it's become a matter of pride. I doubt very seriously that he'll rear up again. I took him down hard with me. That fall wasn't easy for him either. But I was determined. If he was going to put me down again he was going too.

Interesting to note though that this type of horse has about the same bowel issues that I do. Found out this morning that the paso [kind of horse] had diebetic issues. I'm suppose to regulate his sugar problems with cinnamon. May be that's why I feel so connected to him. If I can't get his weight in control he'll just get sicker. He's a great ride when all is going well. But he's like riding a firecracker.
