brethor9 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi all!!Just lately off and on I have experiencing a really strange symptom that I have never had before......my chin keeps going numb and part of my lower jaw.....I have recently been having some other issues with numbness and pins and needles in my legs, etc but never my lower jaw.Its kinda freaking me out a bit.....anyone else ever experience this??? Of course if I look it up on the internet all I get back is that it can be a symptom of lymphoma or met breast cancer...arrgh!!! It doesnt happen every day just every couple of weeks....any ideas???Bren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yes, I have this sometimes too. Don't know why. Think there is a connection with foods. Either glutten - wheat or glutamate foods - Like aspartame in sugar free gum. Take an allergy pill and see if it goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katybug Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi Bren,I haven't had it in a while, but when my joint pain and my limbs falling asleep were at their worst 4 years ago, my chin would fall asleep. I never told anyone cause they were already looking at me like I was crazy with the long list of symptoms. I didn't have it expand into my lower jaw but I did have my jaw feel like it was going to lock and the joint was very painful around that time too. It improved with the antibiotic treatment I was on for the Lyme.Hope it goes away,Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliegee Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 YES- exactly like you describe. It felt like I'd been in the cold too long & my face never warmed up. For me, it was an allergic reaction to a calcium channel blocker I was taking for severe Reynaud's. Are you taking a beta or calcium channel blocker?

lieze Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I've had this too and where it feels like my jaw locks up on me. I'm not sure if it's similar to the effect that goes to my esophagus too.I get very upset and scared when this happens too. I don't relax basically until it goes away.

juliegee Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Have you started any new med, supplement, or even food? The worst thing about an allergic reaction (if that's what it is ) is that you can become allergic to something you've never been allergic to at any given time...I would see a doc soon. It's probably just dysautonomia madness & nothing serious, but I know it's scary.Hugs-Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
