My symptoms. Do I have CFS?

[Hip]

I just googled some images. My tounge dosn't look patchy. The white layer starts from the throat and will cover the whole tounge if I don't clean it regulary.

My white geographic tongue coating was patchy originally, but then after a year or so, the coating permanently and uniformly covered my whole tongue. So you don't have to have patches. One theory is that geographic tongue is simply an oral version of psoriasis (which is an autoimmune disease). IL-1B polymorphisms are a risk factor for developing geographic tongue. Reference: here.

The other type of tongue coating is oral candidiasis, but this appears not just on the tongue, but also on other areas of the mouth, such as the roof of the mouth. Oral candidiasis also has a different texture, looking a bit like cottage cheese.

I didn't comment because I thought you would already know this but the common cause of whiteness on our tongues is due to eating sugar. The white bacteria or whatever it is eat sugar so the more we eat the white it gets. Maybe that is it?

Would you have a reference for that? Never heard of such "white bacteria".

Sorry I think I meant candida. I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. It's one the tricks in Chinese medicine to look at a tongue and if it's white to tell the person they eat too much sugar. I'm pretty sure mine is worse when I eat more sugar
