Patricia, Doesn't your surgeon or PCP require regular lab draws to monitor your blood chemistry levels? If not, DEMAND that they do a draw (complete levels on everything - it should be about 12 vials of blood) immediately. Blessings, dina

Ouch! that sounds terrible, I looked up "my tounge itches" on ask.com and this is what I found. Quote- "Try B12/Folic Acid injections. Another thing that could be involved is yeast overgrowth. Also try lactobacillus acidophillus yoghurt or capsules. B vitamin supplement would be good too." I would get into my doctor asap, and get some labs done, dont wait. Good Luck.
