Another question

[abcdlr111]

sorry for starting another topic...I searched for my old thread but I couldn't find it.

anyway...so my sore throat / swollen gland thing I think is pretty much gone.  I am now in the 2-4 weeks after exposure that ARS symptoms usually pop up.

I've had kinda like a white tongue thing..I brush my teeth and tongue and most of it goes away.

now however tonight I noticed that at the very tip of my tongue and going out on the sides a little bit I see like...the little tastebud things (i guess they are called papillae)...anyway...they're kinda bigger than normal and red and i've never noticed them before so they just came.

is this kind of tongue problem usually a symptom of ARS?  I really have no clue.

please give me some insight!

hey everyone....getting a little more concerned.

I finished my run of antibiotics yesterday...and now tonight my throat seems to be getting a little worse again.  when i talk kinda quiet nothing comes out...idk if you understand what I mean but its like something is up with my throat.  I am on the 17 / 18 day mark now since my possible oral exposure.

should I be concerned about my throat at all?  is this an ARS symptom?

[abcdlr111]

me?  yeah...he said he doesn't have anything.  i dont think he's gotten tested tho.

I am doing as well as can be expected. I am anxiety ridden and cannot relax. I feel like I was infected by the exposures I had. I am also scared because I had mono right when ARS would have started.

Have you talked to the guy you were with recently?

[exww]

Yes it is common

[abcdlr111]

just looked in the mirror and saw little clear looking bumps underneath my tongue...look like clear taste buds.

...anyone????

My entire life I have had phases every few months where I get bumps on my tongue, sometimes painful ones. They are nothing to worry about. Just part of being alive. '

Really, dont worry about it. You may have scraped your tongue on your front teeth while sleeping, hot or spicy food can cause it too. Sometimes there is no known cause.

[abcdlr111]

you're prob right bluebell...I just dont know why all of this stuff is happening RIGHT NOW at this time in my life when I DONT need anything else wrong with me to worry about.  sometimes timing sucks...


anyway how are you dealing these days?  I've been reading your posts.  Doing okay?

[bluebell81]

It is not ARS!

Brushing your tongue can cause those bumps if you are brushing roughly. Nothing to worry about. For further concerns regarding this matter see your dentist.

yeah but i didn't brush the END of my tongue cause the white stuff was more towards the middle / back....blah
