I've been off the toxic drugs for a year now and I finally have a pink tongue again. I've read that a white, coated tongue is a sign of your body trying to get rid of toxins. There was a time I couldn't scrape the stuff off. It was thick and there were deep fissures in my tongue. Basically gross!
At a singing lesson my teacher told me to stick out my tongue for an exercise. I hesitated. She insisted and I thought, “Okay, you asked for it.” I stuck it out. I'm pretty sure I saw revulsion in her expression. 😯
So now it is back to pink. I'm hoping that's an indication that the toxins are gone from my body. I guess it's also an encouragement to me that maybe my body can recover given the right circumstances.
