Yuck! Isn't MS great?! 🙂 What normal person would think that because of our "brain disease" we could have issues with our tongue?

But yes, I had that for a month or so. It's something to pay attention to. If it impacts your tongue in a big way, or especially if it interferes with swallowing (swallowing is a complex symphony of muscles working together) then call your doctor.

Mine was actually painful -- it hurt to move my tongue left/right. The "normal" sweeping action of using your tongue to sweep food out between your teeth and gum was difficult, clumsy and painful. Odd stuff.

I dealt with it by doubling down on all of the basics: water intake, diet, sleep, etc. -- making sure all that stuff was right. Made sure I wasn't stressing over anything.

Then I adopted "exercises." I'd look in a mirror and force my tongue to do different things, practiced facial movements (I was getting facial spasms at the same time) and pushed myself to use my tongue.

Over a few weeks things got back to normal.
