I had my fair share of dental work before this hit, but it was months prior. Root canal, extraction wisdom tooth and a bone graft lower molar in prep for implant. Anyway…..the dentists are clueless and I think they are pretty smart guys.

The word neuropathy caught my attention because I have been evaluated for that too. Neurologists and multiple ortho and podiatrists say I don’t have it, but how is that possible? My endo and primary aren’t sure. I have had type 1 diabetes for over 20 years. Still…..with all the diabetics who have neuropathy, I’ve never read of anyone who had a bitter taste.

I’ve considered hypnosis. But since I’m improving, I may give it more to time.

I have an idea on the mouthguard being helpful. I feel like the surface of my mouth taste odd, so if there is less surface space available, the less odd taste there should be.

I don’t think mine is dry mouth. It’s much more involved than that.
