I wonder if anybody else gets this. Sometimes my tongue will feel swollen, too big for my mouth and is uncomfortable. It also can look like it has scalloped edges (indents where the teeth have pushed up against it).

I have heard this is a pretty classic sign of mercury toxicity and am curious if others get this too.

Hi bex, i heard that Russ had this problem before he got the mercury removed, its in his mercury story.

HI dawn, I didn't know Russ suffered with that. I get it, even though I have no amalgams, though not as often as I once did. Either that, or i've gotten so used to it, I don't notice it as much ...

That is a classic sign of hypothyroidism. Before I got on Armour I used to find that my tongue was too big for my mouth, and I couldn't speak properly. My friend thought I was absolutely crazy when I mentioned it to her. I since found it is to do with hypothyroidism. I'll try to find a link to prove it, otherwise you'll think I'm crazy too. Someone I know went to see Dr Skinner, a very respected thyroid expert in the UK, and he examined her tongue, which was just as you describe. She is now on thyroid meds.

Swollen tongue is a classic sign of mercury toxicity. I had this symptom dramatically the final 6 months before my amalgam removal. It took extra effort to speak and sound normal. I would also salivate so much that I had to swallow between every other sentence.

After my amalgam removal, both symptoms went away almost immediately.
