Hard to describe. I guess it kinda feels like I burned it on something hot, but it feels like that all the time. It feels kinda like prickly, tingling. It feels like you are eating or drinking something spicy all the time.

2. Dysphagia Show Full Answer

If your tongue feels weird and you have multiple sclerosis (MS), it could be related to several factors:

1. Tongue Sores:
- Some people with MS experience tongue sores, which can feel like discomfort, burning, or soreness. Foods that are salty, acidic, or have a crunchy texture can exacerbate these symptoms.

2. Dysphagia:
- Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, can cause issues with tongue control. This might make your tongue feel like it has a different idea of what to do.

3. Motor Problems Related to Dysarthria:
- Dysarthria, which involves motor problems affecting speech, can also lead to tongue-biting and a weird feeling in the tongue.

4. Numbness:
- MS can cause numbness in various parts of the body, including the mouth, tongue, and face.

If these symptoms persist, it's important to talk to your doctor for proper management and advice.
