buggeryBoring post about me and my stupid body. Feel free to skip.
Yeah, so my nervous system is just really not normal.
Most of the effects of this I've gotten used to, if not comfortable with -- perennial muscle weakness, random days when I can't process written English, frequent failure to understand or remember things I hear, having parts of my arms or legs go numb for days or weeks at a time. At the moment two different places on my left arm feel sunburned -- over-warm and not-quite-itchy, skin-deep, though there's no actual sunburn there, just some confused nerves.
What's new, though? My tongue. It's faintly swollen, and feels hot and thick and dry (though it's not -- my salivary glands are working fine), and no amount of hydrating -- either drinking or just holding water in my mouth -- brings any relief. This has been going on two days now. I get periodic urges to let it hang out of my mouth, and I've tried going with that, but it just gets dry without cooling down any, or at least not feeling like it does; I trust that the laws of physics regarding evaporation have not in fact changed.
Mainly I just want to bitch about this. But if anybody has any bright ideas for what might make me feel better? Please, please share.
