Greetings from Tasmania, Australia, and thank you for all the wonderful posts and information on this site. This is my first post as a new member.

After reading some posts that mention tongues I had a look at mine and was horrified at the vision of this thing I keep in my mouth! I was of course aware that it doesn't behave quite normally, along with my facial muscles, which my neuro said he expects to be the last to respond to medication. But I wasn't prepared to see this discoloured, grooved and scarred-looking object. There is no pain and food still tastes normal.

I am wondering whether this could be permanent damage or whether I can expect improvement eventually. Not that it matters that much I suppose as I don't go around showing it to anyone else.

Any responses will be appreciated.

Cheers, Marian
