Chronic salty taste

@bel59 This is terrible. I don't know what to do with it. Is it associated with back pain for you? I have back pain, burning in my legs. The salty feeling in my mouth is terrible. No doctor knows about it. It's funny to me that nowadays (I'm not the only one... they don't have a solution)

@legieliga00 I don’t have any other health issues. Many years ago I did have spinal fusion at the C5-C6 level but the salty taste didn’t occur until years after that.
The fact that no practitioner (of any kind) has any idea is incredibly frustrating. My fear is it’s a n auto-immune problem and therefore very likely incurable.

@bel59 And do you have it all night? It disappears at night... also no one knows what causes it. It only occurs during activity. It doesn't happen at rest. It's the same for me. No one knows what it's from.

It's only at night that I get respite - because I'm asleep. Otherwise it is there during all awake hours regardless of activity.

@neisie13 Hey everyone, hope you’re doing well with all the adversities. Thanks for the icy water suggestion. Nothing takes away the salty taste but it’s soothing. I found a mouthwash, Biotene, which helps for sometime. It’s basically for dry mouth but helps with salty taste. Wish you all good luck 👍

Thanks for your post. My taste goes from sour/bitter to salty for no reason at all. I never know when I wake up which taste is going to be worse for that day. As others have mentioned, the only time I get relief is when sleeping and sometimes I even have an hour first thing in the morning when things are almost normal. Then it starts up. Biotene sometimes helps but only for a short time. I too am beginning to wonder if I will ever get an answer. Yes, good luck to everyone.

@legieliga00 oh yeah I have terrible burning feet.

I think it’s theorized the taste disorder could be nerve damage.

@celia16 Personally, I think the same.... But I don't know what to do about it. I take supplements, I go to rehab, it's better, but I still can't get rid of it.

@munira12 It's nerve damage. I have the same thing... as @celia16 mentioned. It burns me too, from the inside of my thighs, into my calves and tingles in my toes.
