To RE: Possible Sjogren's Symptom???

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I haven't experienced anything like that from Sjogrens Syndrome but

your dentist might have hit a nerve when he deadened your gums

to pull that tooth. I had a similar experience only it was my tongue

that was numb, for about 6 weeks. That just about drove me crazy

(or I should say crazier :-)). Hope you are better soon.

Hi all.

I have several symptoms of Sjogren's, and will get the opinion of my

Rheumy when I see her on Thursday. For the past 2 weeks, I have had a

numb area develop on my chin and it runs along my jaw line. I can still

move my face there, it's just that it's numb and has little feeling there. I

went to my family physician, and he had no clue as to what it was - (sent

me for tests). I went to the dentist, had a tooth pulled that was in that area

that had been causing me grief - but still the numbness is there.

Anyone else experience something like this due to Sjogren's Syndrome?

Thanks,
