Just something ive recently noticed, if you protrude your tongue too much like everyday and crease it up a bit, dents and lines appear in it.Also it wrinkles as we get older.

Maybe so, but I am in a downward slide again, I have managed to avoid looking at my tongue, but I am looking elsewhere now instead (displacement activity, compulsion will out) and feeling weakness in my left arm and discovering the musculature there to be somewhat flabby and not at all like on my right.
I suppose I shouldn't really start to worry until my right side begins to weaken as well as there is no doubt a logical explanation for it all, but one my mind is inclined not to accept without a lot of re-assurance.
I know at one level it is my perceptions I am fighting, and that is not an easy thing to change. Let's hope I am not dying from *LS in the meantime, while I struggle to balance my perceptions.

I have just summoned up the courage to look again at my tongue and, yes the groove is real enough, but it does line up rather conveniently with one of my teeth, so I guess it is just the same as the scalloping effect after all.
I wish I could be reassured about, slurring my speech though,
Now look how long I am going to have to wait to be reassured.
I just hope that the slurring is only fatigue and anxiety.
I seem to have adopted yet another compulsive habit, that is if I mispronounce a word in a sentence, I go off as soon as possible and repeat that word as many times as I can to make sure that I can at least pronounce it in isolation, not sure what that is proving.

Incedentally a couple of beers actually improves my speech - either that or it just gives me the impression that it has
