December 31, 2006Word of the Day > Word of the Day - DysgeusiaCombing through my unfinished 2006 blog posts I found this excellent word from SayUncle: Since I’m no longer smoking, I’m experiencing Dysgeusia, which means that my sense of taste is changing. Dysgeusia can be caused as a side effect of the medication Chantix (which I am taking and recommend for quitting smoking) and as a result of quitting smoking in general. According to that second link it's pronounced "dis-GOOZ-ee-a." Previous WOTD - Reuleaux Triangle Posted by lesjones | TrackBackComments
Good for you, I quit smoking some time ago, it was very hard. Seeing that it was the days before nicorete and all of these other meds to help. I had to go cold turkey. I was not a pleasent person for the next month or two. But I wish ya the best of luck in stopping that habbit. Have a good new year. Posted by: Michael at January 01, 2007I brought home a six pack of beer one night and was shocked that it tasted terrible. I took it back to the store and they refunded my money. I went to a different store, bought another six pack of the same thing. It tasted terrible, too. That's when I remembered I had just started a new medication. As soon as I went off the medicine beer tasted good again. Posted by: Les Jones at January 01, 2007Sounds like you should have stayed on the medicine.
