    meds and anxiety can give you a metallic taste in your mouth, also de-hydration apparently (my mother just added that in lol)

    Sure you arent pregnant LOL

    I had a metal taste in my mouth then. I wake up with a metal taste in my mouth every morning but mine is definitely my tongue bar. I have heard that some old fillings can cause it too if you have any of them.

    Other than that I am with Roses. I thought you liked my kind of music

    Gotta watch it if it's old filings Mel...
    It's a proven fact that the Russians have been spying on balding menfolk with glasses for some years now...
    And with the job you do..... Prime target. If you like I can do a quick (won't say painless as such) extraction or three, gratis of course.
    Damn Ruskies...

    Me & Ra have travelled the globe extracting such fillings, you wouldn't believe who they spy on. I remember one particular messy job, Ra had told me of an old friend of he's who he used to session with in the seventies.. Noddy Holder.. Yep. What people don't realise is that he's actually head ofa secret organisation that controls peoples thoughts, Noddy that is, not Ra, lol.. That'd be silly :shock:
    For yrs Noddy had managed to cause interference with the signals with his wispy facial hair, but, time took it's toll & his facial hair began to thin.. That's when we had to step in.. Boy was he a screamer, it's actually how he got his trademark yelling from.. We bashed at those nashers for four solid days, using just pliers & brute force, taking it in turns...

    Anyway, in the end we managed it..


    True story.. In fact Ra often uses it as an icebreaker at parties.

    Hi Mell

    Well I can say that having my tongue pierced didn't hurt that much although it did swell up to about three times the normal size but once it had settled down (about 3 days) it was fine. That was three days of drinking and the best part was going to a free bar do with the company I was working for and just drinking Vodka all night instead of eating. Worked a treat.

    I have trouble eating things like polos, noodles, spaghetti and toffee but apart from that its fine. I forget I have it now. (Polos get stuck over the top so its like playing hoopla).

    I went out from work one lunch time to have it done and I was back working about half an hour later. I think I have a liking to pain as I have 8 tattoos as well as having my nose, lip and tongue pierced. I also have the traditional ear piercings but I have 3 in one ear and 6 in the other.

    I can safely say that the most painful thing I have had done was my latest tattoo which has been done around my ankle and on to my foot. The foot was the worst because there was nothing to soften the blow like the rest of me.

    Hope you are feeling better today and the metallic taste has subsided. Maybe you should start listening to some metallica while this taste issue is about lol
