Cori, I just had a thought.... may be completely irrelevant, but here goes anyway!  Have you noticed whether you have had any particular foods prior to these 'bites'?? Sometimes we can have food allergies we don't realize, and one reaction is that the tongue can swell. Do you notice indentions on the side of your tongue from your teeth? If so, that is commonly a sign that you have a sensitivity to a food you recently ate. And, if your tongue is swollen, even slightly, the more likely you will be to bite it. And, of course, once you do bite it, there is added swelling, and then even more likely you will keep biting it..... vicious cycle, LOL  Most people don't even realize this. I had noticed indentions on the sides of my tongue from my teeth off and on for years, and didn't know it was a reaction to certain foods up until here recently. Anyway,... "food for thought" (yes, that was a pun, LOL)  (((hugs))) Post edited by: beauty4ashes, at: 11/07/2008 15:29 I am NOT a doctor in any way, shape or form, and

"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
Maybe I'm talking to fast 
or my tongue has grown a mind of its own? 
or I'm nutso. Plleeaassee tell me someone else is biting their tongue or having some other weird issue to make me feel better. 
no one? 
great I'm a weirdo 
I don't know why but I do and end up with little sore spots. I don't even realize I've done it until I taste the blood.
My question to you is after you bite your tongue, do you continue to irritate it against your teeth? I can't seem to stop once I have a bite. The left side of my tongue is sore now from it. OCD rears its head again....
