My tongue- see picture

Hey everybody-

Take a look in my "Photos" and you'll see a picture of my tongue. It is enlarged with scallpos around the edges like a pie crust.

B12 deficiency has been ruled out. My endo says the differential diagnosis is b12 def and hypo.

I am hypo, but TSH has been below 2 since December.

Any thoughts? Anyone else have a tongue like this?

the pics are now gone but i'm wondering about candida?  it's something i've just been learning about after my doc mentioned i might have it.  it's intestinal yeast and it can cause thrush like issues on the tongue - along with a huge list of other symptoms that all look similar to hypothyroid.

Mine looked like that for 8 months when I had oral thrush. It finally went away. I think mine was attributed to an antiboitic I was taking.

I always felt like I had a swollen tongue...dry mouth, and shocking ulcers in the mouth which made me literally break down and cry.
I havent had it since being on Mega B Vitamin although I tried every remedy going.
Coincidence? I dont know.

Hi my mum is also having the same looking tongue.
8 years ago she had overeactive thyroid and recover since than.
Recently, she is feeling bad again, but her TSH and Free T4 show normal.
Do all of you feel that the tongue is very uncomfortable?
Feel like it is tremoring?
And always feel like moving your mouth?

Ok, just because of your post I went and looked at my tongue in the mirror.  It is not as badly scalloped, but pretty close.  I have never noticed my tongue change before.  Either I didn't know to look or today is a bad day for me, but them I'm under a lot of stress right now.
