Well... after reducing my protein intake to minimal and upping my water intake to 3 litres a day, the metallic taste has gone, but of the 5 taste senses, all i have is salty... i can put sugar on my tongue and taste nothing, but everything i eat just leaves a salty taste.
i started on Zinc supplements 2 days ago and today i have a slight improvement in tastes, fingers crossed it keeps improving.
on a side note.... called rheumy back and left another voice message. 2 weeks later, still no reply
I made an appointment with GP and had a 3 week wait, the appointment is this friday!
I'm sure that GP's hate it when their patients self diagnose, but in all honesty, what the hell are we meant to do? i have come off Leflunomide until it's eliminated from possible causes, as the symptoms i am having are indications that my kidneys aren't happy.
