I’ve read recently about a bad mumps

epidemic and perhaps that could be your problem. I suggest seeing your GP just

in case. God bless.

Help- Jaw flare

Hi everyone- I am posting because I am having the worst jaw flare

of

my entire life! It started last night

and my right side began to

swell up. My face looks like I had a stroke,

because my whole jaw has

shifted position. My cheekbone, ear, jaw and

lips are all painful and

swollen. I cant talk without slurring and I

cant eat anything but

soup. It even hurts to swallow. I felt

it coming on saturday when I

tried to split a pill by biting it in half.

I felt a grinding and

spiking pain and then within an hour, I was

drooling mess. I just had

a long overdue Remicade infusion and took MTX last

night, but it hasnt

helped at all. Looks like I will have to

call the RD and make an

appt. I might have a flare that lasts a few

days but this is just

frightening!! Now all I need is a bell and a

hump and I can play

Quasi- Moto. If anyone else has ever had

something like this, would

you chime in. It would be a comfort.

Hugs, Deborah

Hi Debrorah, I am so sorry to hear about your jaw flare. I have had a few pretty intense jaw flares, its not fun. Worse then any toothache or any pain I have ever felt. My doctor gives me a cortisone shot when it flares. He says that my dentist can give me some kind of mouth piece to wear when i sleep that should help but I dont really see how that could help because it hits me at the strangest times. I also can feel it coming on before it hits really strong. I have found a spot in my jaw that if I press on it, it does seem to ease it a bit, alteast until I can get the the Rummy. I know your email was sent awhile ago and hopefully you are not suffering with it anymore. But I can feel your pain. Let me know if

you discover any other good relief for this kind of flare. in Michigan briah1961 <dbargad@...> wrote: Hi everyone- I am posting because I am having the worst jaw flare of my entire life!
