Candyfluff - I have had this since Tuesday and from looking on here and google I have concluded it is from pine nuts,I just want to know how much longer I am going to have it.

pine nut ???? no i dont eat them ,i do take an antidepressent late at night but have been on them for nearly a year so shouldnt think its that ,it tastes horrible its driving me nuts to be honest.
im gonna get some mouthwash tomorrow and see if it helps failing that may have to visit the dentist or doctors - not sure who would be the best for this one .any opinions

have you got alot of fillings

southeastastra · 10/10/2009 22:03

could be start of abscess?

Prunerz · 10/10/2009 22:13

I once had a HORRENDOUS bad taste in my mouth
I could not eat anything with dairy in it, nothing at all, it tasted FOUL
It went round all out friends (NOT passed on by me!!)
The dentist said it was herpetic but we'd all had coldsores so we discounted that and figured it was a virus.

jasper · 10/10/2009 22:19

prunerz herpes is a virus , same one that causes cold sores

RoseBlossoms · 10/10/2009 22:19

I'm really sorry but "sour/metallic taste " was excatly what i had one week before my af due, that never arrived i'm now 22 weeks pregnant. Just IME.

If there is a chance i'd test.

PumpkinsCantDanceTheTango · 11/10/2009 05:30

Only ever had that when preg or on zopiclone sleeping tabs. So going by my experience if you aint on the tabs then test! But am sure there are more reasons...

Prunerz · 11/10/2009 07:00

yy I know, I meant 'another virus'. Rather than herpes, which we all already had as coldsores.
Anyway it was vile, we couldn't eat, everything tasted so awful.

So to be nosey are we expecting a baby fluff?

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 12/10/2009 21:17

"pregnant" was my guess too

IdrisTheDragon · 12/10/2009 21:22

I had that a few months ago.

I wasn't pregnant .

I do take ADs and have many fillings so maybe it was due to one or other of them. It went away again anyway. Not that that is much help to you but it doesn't necessarily mean pregnancy.

IdrisTheDragon · 12/10/2009 21:24

Cctually thinking about it, I hadn't been eating much in the way of carbohydrates and after I ate pasta cheese one evening it did start getting better. I think I had googled and found ketosis as one possible reason.

busybutterfly · 12/10/2009 23:04

I get this when I'm due on - so it maybe the opposite of being pregnant!!

saramoon · 13/10/2009 20:54

I got this when i was pregnant with both off my dds BUT recently i have been having a weird metallic taste in my mouth a few days before i am due on. Puts the fear of God in me that i have one in the oven again.
