I have a weird question. I 've read inmany places that a person with MS can have tongue tingling and numnbess. I dont have that but when i stick my tongue out my tongue jerks around and its like its moving. I do rember one time i had an intern make me stick out my tongue and he asked me did my tongue do that all the time, i said i gues,i dont know, never really noticed it. But now im thinking this could be due ot MS, does anybody else do this. Its very weird, Stick out your tonue and say ahhhh and mine MOVES!

" I recently experienced numbness and tingling in my tongue, also in the roof of my mouth. It really affected how things tasted, and I actually lost some weight because nothing tasted good to me. That was a good benefit of it, but I think I would prefer to not lose weight that way, lol. It was a very strange sensation. "

" I would assume the "moving" tonuge has something to do with the nervous system, youknow like having your reflexes checked and they are off. Oh well, guess Im weird, haha "
