A new side effect today - my taste buds went haywire.
I had to run an errand and decided to pick up a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich (one of my favorites). I bit into it and nearly hit the roof of my car. It was HOT! I seriously thought that they must have changed the recipe to be a hotter sandwich. Now, I like spicy food and have no problem handling the heat, but I couldn't take more than 3 bites.
I needed to get food in my stomach so I stopped in at Arby's and ordered a roast beef sandwich and a diet coke (I drank up all my water). The sandwich tasted ok but not quite right. I then took a sip from my coke and felt it burn going all the way down. I took a couple more bites of the sandwich and tried the coke again. Same thing - burn, burn, burn. I guess this will help me drink more water and less (or no!) soda.
It felt like my taste buds were burned off or that there was no protection on them, like they were raw. How long is this going to last? The joint/muscle spasms have improved to the point that I don't experience them for more than a minute or two whenever I lay down. But what about my taste buds? Is this, too, temporary?
