An ulcer i think.
AgOnzing isn't it?

fishie · 25/03/2007 22:24

is it trapped (or otherwise tormented) tastebud? doesn't seem to last as long as an ulcer on me.

Depends on whereabouts on the tongue it is doesn't it? You know in the sweet/sour region or whatever...I know that if you get a lumpy bit in the sweet region it is through OD-ing on sugary stuff.

it means you have been lieing

catASTROPHE · 25/03/2007 22:27

I don't think its an ulcer - too tiny. maybe a tastebud? What do you mean 'trapped'?

Whatever it is, its on the tip of my tongue and geet rubbing against my teeth...ouch!

I used to get them all the time as a kid, usually after a marathon dib dab sherbet session!!!

fishie · 25/03/2007 22:34

no that cannot be true re sweeties. it must be the lying then.

willywonkasegghunt · 25/03/2007 22:34

I get them too cat they're annoying as f* and feel like the size of a football. Always assumed that it's a poorly tastebud and find that anbesol or similar can help. Until then, you'll be catching the blighter - whether intentionally or unintentionally - on your teeth until it chooses to disappear...

willywonkasegghunt · 25/03/2007 22:35

For f, read f**!

ok, I confess, have been eating lots of cake, but only to finish off DS's birthday cake. I couldn't see it wasted now could I?

OK so why don't my other asterisks appear... Thought it was a typo but seems not

A-ha! A cake-fest induced tongue affliction!! It will go down in a couple of days - I sympathise - they are seriously twinge-y and sore..
