Did I cause nerve damage to my tongue?

To be safe, I deleted personal phone number.. please just respond to post for AColbert. If numbness or pain to bitten tongue persists, call the neurologist. They'll want to know and check this out.  There is also a topic medicine that can be put on the tongue to help lessen pain. 

Hi,   Thanks so much for posting, it’s sound like you’ve been through a lot! We cannot determine if you have nerve damage to your tongue, so it’s very important that you reach out directly to your health care team to discuss this incident and any changes in seizure types, frequency, behaviors,side effects and symptoms.Learn more about seizure safety while at home here: https://www.epilepsy.com/learn/seizure-first-aid-and-safety/staying-safe/safety-home Additionally, it  may be helpful having a device: https://www.dannydid.org/ ,  that can help track  seizures:  https://www.epilepsy.com/learn/managing-your-epilepsy/tracking-my-seizures/importance-tracking-seizures And by keeping a seizure diary:  https://www.epilepsy.com/living-epilepsy/epilepsy-foundation-my-seizure-diary .

Bites across my tongue seem to heal and recover the fastest, in a few weeks/months.  bites along the side of my tongue take much longer.  After a severe bite across my tongue, it's a problem between pain and numbness, with the tip of my tongue often being numb at times making hot foods/beverages, despite being very careful, burning the tip, but not being aware of it until after the fact when a bout of numbness leaves.  My most severe bite was along the side of most of the length of my tongue along the left side, about a half of an inch to maybe three-quarters of an inch towards the center of my tongue, where that piece of my tongue was just dangling off the side of the bottom of my tongue and somewhat still connected far back to the back of my tongue;  the taste buds somewhat grew back to the partially severed part, but they didn't work for taste, just somewhat of a feeling of touch;  tongues seem to be very resilient over time, and the canyon of the bite has slowly moved/retreated-growth where it is about a quarter of an inch from the side of my tongue now, and much farther from the center of my tongue;  this recovery has been over about 15 years now.  All the ERs, doctors, and specialists that examined my tongue would just comment that that's bad, but not their department beyond try an ice cube for pain, so medical help directly for tongue injuries seems to be lacking.
