Okay, What the...

[brandon184]

I was just sitting here, chatting with a friend on MSN IM... All of a sudden, the left side of my tongue just starts to kill. A sharp, shooting pain. Didn't gradually happen, just this quick, shooting pain.

So, my instinct is to run to the bathroom and rinse my mouth out with water... I do so, and it hurts like hell. Now, I have these two huge node-like creatures under my tongue that were not there 3 minutes ago, and it's freakin' the hell outta me.

Does anyone know what just happened? I'm fine... but the underside of my tongue now feels swollen (because of the enlarged thingers) and the left side is achy (no sharp pain, though).

Anyone know what just happened? Because I sure don't.

Hope that's sensical!

Heya, Brandon! At first blush, it sounds to me like you got a cramp or two...underside, mostly on the sides, right?

You could have a potassium deficiency, maybe??

Try eating a banana. If I'm right, you'll feel better.

If I'm wrong, well..you got to enjoy a banana.

Does one of your ex girlfriends own a voo-doo doll of you?

Better change your ways son...

I didn't eat anything.... I was just sitting here.

The thing under my tongue seems to have retained it's original, humanoid sizing...

But now my lymph nodes are all achy... Which isn't too unusual, considering I'm coming down with a nasty cold. I've had plenty of colds though, and that's never happened... Good grief.

[edit]I already eat a banana every day.

A tongue cramp knot? You serious man?

[brandon184]

It felt like that... But it doesn't explain the sudden growth that appeared under the tongue. Or does it?

Get to a doctor pronto, you have a rare virus called cyto megalo virus or CMV. If untreated it can cause paralysis and even death if untreated for an extended period of time.

Get to the hospital quickly and have someone else drive you as you may pass out.

Oh god.

That's what I want to hear.

Guy, you're messed in the head. Seriously. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/cmv.htm
