White tongue
Hi,
On the 15th of Januray I have noticed that I have this white tongue, usually I have a nice pink tongue. I noticed this white tongue because one moning when I woke up I had vey dry mouth so I went to check it in the mirror. Later on I started to have 37.2 degree temperature for 6 days (it was coming back to normal at some parts of the day)
Here is the story On the 24th of december I went to the dentist to have a root canal treatment on one of my tooth and other work was done on my teeth, the dentist prescribed me Dalacin C 300mg for a week in order to avoid any infections. I also have a rotten tooth that also needs a root canal treatment. Recently I went to an ENT doctor who said that on first sight nothing alarming and took a swab sample of the white coating, which came back negative.
I do not know if this is important but 4 months ago I received an unprotected fellatio and all my STD test came back negative.
What can this be? how can I treat it?
Thank you very much for any advice.

Just a quick note as I feel quite unwell.
Good news that you have gained some weight.
Do take the Nystatin. This is an antiungal med. You wouldn't have been prescribed it if the doc didn't think you needed it.
Best wishes

I just came back from an oral pathologist/ dentist...as usual just told me food debris and ****...however he prescribed me Nystatin!!! which i don t think I will take.
I have just also got my CBC results for blood.everything looks normal compared to the two other test that I have done on december 26 2012 and january 16 2013, except for my lymphocytes which have changed fom 33% (dec), 30% (jan) and now 41% (March). Now I m getting really scared. the ENT doctor said it is normal but she hadn't seen my previous results to compare. Also my Eosinophilis are 6% and they were 0% in January.
I hope the infectiologist can help and I hope it is not a dangerous diseas.

You are so kind.
No idea to your question.
The other thing that crossed my mind tonight. - but I do not want to alarm you. If nothing is found by all the tests you are having done with regard to your weight loss, may be it would be a good idea to have your stools checked for any worms.
When people eat BBQ for example, the meat is not always thoroughly cooked in the middle. This is bad with pork. Sometimes the tape worm eggs are in the pork meat. This is then digested and the egg hatches out into a tape worm. This lives in the intestine. People eat a lot and lose weight, because the worm takes the nourishment.
But then again, you have said that you do not have an appetite. Mmmmm.
Perhaps some Guiness may give you some appetite back.
I have just stopped making a fondant Nigerian bride. I have never done one before. I have to make a head and face - I am not too good at that. I made and finished the Bride Groom and he looks funny.
I have a new Nigerian friend that lived opposite my house for a few months. Her daughter is getting married in Nigeria at the end of the month and she wanted some cake Bride and Groom toppers. She had a go with me on Tuesday night and we laughed our socks off at the sight of the chaps' heads and the body was just shrinking down LOL.
I usually make fondant decorations for family cakes and occasionally friends. Made a Mr. Blobby cake for an 18 year old lad a few years ago.
You sound really skinny. I could do with losing weight. But am having difficulty. I go for walks every day despite being in pain.
Take care and let me know how you get on with your tests.

As you are stressed and depressed this will have an impact on your eating habits. Some people (like myself) when depressed and suffer from stress eat more and gain weight. Others, like yourself, it affects the appetite and therefore you don't fee like eating.
Please go to see a GP, (hope you have been keeping a food and drink and "how I feel every day" diary), take your notes with you to the doctor so that he will see a pattern of what is going on.
Hopefully he will take a blood sample to check for anaemia, diabetes or other illnesses (depends on what the doctor thinks you may have) NOTE what I have said "MAY have".
As you are not experiencing any digestive problems apart from loss of appetite, best to see the GP first, he will then determine whether you need to be examined by a gastroenterologist.
As you have a constantly dry mouth (I have this problem too), drink plenty of water. Sometimes with a dry mouth (if you are not breathing through an open mouth) can also be from diabetes.
I know you are worried that you have lost this weight because you have not consciously been dieting. Go to the Doc as explained above, and ask for a blood test for anemia, B12 deficiency and diabetes.
In the meantime, do not eat hot and spicy foods, or fried foods.
Keep up with the good oral hygiene and drink the yogurt and apply the Daktarin (if you read the instructions, it does say to continue for a few days after the symptoms have settled). When you apply it to yuor mouth, put some in and swish it around your mouth. Try not to eat or drink too soon afterwards so that the Darktarin stays in your mouth for as long as possible.
Stress and depression is no good for your health, and your doctor should ask you questions with regard to this, as you may need a course of antidepressents (if you are not taking any at the moment). Don't forget that not all antidepressents suit all people, so it is trial and error getting the right one that suits you. If you fall rock bottom and lose interest in hygiene and your hobbies for example, it will take up to 3 months for the antidepressants to have any effect.
You need to speak on a one to one basis with your doctor. Write a list of all your problems and hand that to your doctor (sometimes this is better than talking with him because you may miss something out).
In the meantime eat foods that contain iron, milk, eggs, meat (for B12) and dark green veg, You can buy B12 sublingual (placed under the tongue), excess B12 in your body will be excreted through the urine. And multivitamins with iron. But best to get a blood check with your doctor.
To help with the stress and depression before you see the doctor, go for walks in the fresh air as well as any form of relaxation you prefer - not sitting in front of a computer or TV.
Hope you get on alright and that I have given you lots to think about to help you get back on track again.
Best wishes.
