9. Dryness of the Tongue: MRG’s Moisture Dilemma
Moisture and the tongue share an intrinsic bond. However, MRG can sometimes come between this bond, leading to an unusual dryness. It’s not the parched feeling after a long speech, but a consistent lack of moisture that doesn’t seem to relent.
This symptom isn’t just about feeling dry. It’s about the tongue’s environment being altered. The usual salivary flow, which ensures the tongue remains moist, can be hampered in MRG. This disruption, while not causing any significant distress, can lead to discomfort.
The exact reasons for this symptom are manifold. Is it because of Candida affecting salivary flow? Or does the change in tongue’s topography play a role? The symptom, while straightforward, is underlined with layers of complexity.
For those experiencing it, this dryness becomes a constant companion. The usual relief that a gulp of water provides might seem elusive, leading to frequent sips and a perpetual quest for moisture.
In the grand scheme of MRG symptoms, this one might seem minor. Yet, it’s a daily reminder of MRG’s presence, underscoring the myriad ways it can manifest and affect daily life. (9)
