Mouth symptoms in MS
Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2015 7:00 pm
Hello,
I am not diagnosed with MS or anything else at this point, but have symptoms consistent with MS, and am wondering if something I have been experiencing yesterday and today is something anyone with MS has experienced, and if so, is there any relief for it.
Yesterday I noticed that it felt kind of like I had stuff in my teeth, like when you eat an apple and get skin in between them, a kind of pressure type feeling. I hadn't eaten anything that would do that, but I went and used a water pick followed by regular floss and brushed my teeth, but it made no difference. Today it has persisted all day and is really driving me nuts. It is almost like when your foot falls asleep, but it is inside my mouth. I can handle the numbness and tingling everywhere else, the chest pain, weakness, loss of balance, the eye pain, even the constant ringing in my left ear that started up recently and won't stop, but this weird feeling in my mouth is absolutely horrible, and it is extending to my throat now, so it feels kind of tight, but I can swallow. Has anybody else experienced this, and if so is there anything that can be done to make it stop, or at least decrease?
Thank you!
