Re: Possible Sjogren's Symptom???

[Guest guest]

, I don't have this problem, but I have read about such things related

to Sjogren's - cranial neuropathy. Is the numbness on one side of your face

only? What was the problem with the tooth that was pulled?

I hope that it will just go away. It must be really annoying.

I'll tell you where to go!

Hi .

My teeth are crumbling/decaying because of extreme dry mouth/lack of

saliva production. I brush 3 times a day, but it's just not enough to keep

up with it. The numbness is only on one side of my face (in the general

area of where I had the problem tooth). I will do a little research on Cranial

Neuropathy and see if it sounds like what I have. The Rheumy will have

the final say when I see her on Thursday.

Thank you so much,
