Strange taste in mouth and change in smells

spacekitty13

I have recently had a strange taste in my mouth, not metallic or sweet, just different. I have also noticed that my soaps and perfumes do not smell the same on me, either.

It hasn't affected my sense of taste or smell for other things and I don't have any body odor.

I had been drinking a lot of cheap vodka lately and was wondering if some of the toxins could be coming out through my pores?

I am a 53 yr. old woman and I also smoke menthol cigarettes.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

hi there,

if no one has helped you with this, I highly recommend going to an acupuncturist in your area. I am currently a student studying this field, and strange tastes in the mouth is a majour part of it (a good portion of our studies are pulse and tongue diagnosis--you can tell almost everything that's going on internally by looking at someone's tongue). Since I'm only in my 3rd semester, I don't know enough about it to help you out a great deal. A lot of patients come into the clinic for problems like yours; it could be nothing severe, or it could be a sign of something bigger going on internally. You can try looking up schools with clinics in your area (www.tcmstudent.com has a listing of schools by state) or you can try looking up LICENSED acupuncturists (NOT certified ones, but LICENSED--a licensed one is required to take the national board examination for oriental medicine, a certified one could get that anywhere from a substandard "school".) I hope that helps somewhat. Most people use us as a last resort and then they swear by us afterwards Smile

good luck
