The left side of my tongue can be very white/patchy 1 day and the next be fine and then come back in a couple of days and go for a week only to return?

See your Dentist: Are you taking antibiotics? Is anything rubbing? Are you brushing twice a day? Could it be food associated? If your dentist does not find a dental cause he may want you to see an ear/nose/throat specialist.
