@celia16 Hi Celia...Hope that's your name!!! I never heard back from Linda but hopefully she'll reply so we can hear about her appointment. How great that you are just about cured from your taste issues.. I wonder if the new medication helped? Are you supposed to stay on it for the long-term? I was put on it years ago but I couldn't keep taking it because it made the ringing in my ears unbearable. I hope you continue it with no problems. What was it that made the dermatologist recommend it? I know it calms down the immune system. My taste is a little better since I started the Cymbalta (I take the generic). I don't get that awful salty taste nearly as much but I still have trouble with the sour/bitter type taste. Today the doctor increased my dose since it's been helping somewhat so I'll see what happens. Thanks for reaching out!!!
