the Hygienist and my Taste Buds

are at war. because the Hygienist prescribed the Evil Mouth Wash, which is sneaky and awful. it doesn't taste bad while it's in your mouth. but as soon as you spit it out, your tongue feels like it's been Severely Scalded on Very Hot Liquids. and by Severely Scalded, like, ow, i can't sleep, my tongue hurts. and the next morning, ow, i'm getting no enjoyment out of this coffee, my tongue hurts. and you didn't know your tongue could hurt - the entire front half of it, not the stripe in back where you usually burn yourself on tea or the bit up top behind your front teeth where pizza sauce is too hot. but. ow. and i was using the mouthwash for three weeks or so solid and it wasn't so bad then but then going back to the hygienist she said, only use it once a week. so. it's been a week. and. ow. maybe i've sensitized my taste buds? maybe they hate me now? and it's a little bit better now than it was last night. but. ow. and doesn't one's mouth usually heal quickly? or is this the way it's supposed to taste?
