About 3 weeks ago, out of the blue, I got a new MS symptom. A new symptom is always a little strange at first ....
The right side of my mouth (teeth, gums ... mouth and tongue at times) burn and just outright hurt. It's the same kind of stuff I have felt in my feet and around my trunk/mid-section. It's downright annoying and very, very strange. I was at the dentist about 3 months ago with no problems except sensitive teeth (which I am always treated for). This is totally different and involves my entire mouth on one side.
MS can be so strange. This is something that I think Lyrica could probably alleviate. I take 150 mgs. of Lyrica towards the evening but may have to increase that a little bit (the pain docs even mentioned that). I have good mouth hygiene and had my first cavity (a tiny one) in about 15 years last year. By the type of pain and burning, I can tell it is neuropathic. I've learned how to distinguish this.
One thing, it stinks! But I can be pretty sure it will have a sudden end point like every other relapse has. The good thing about Copaxone--every relapse seems very minor compared to before Copaxone.
I love that stuff--needle and all. It is working for me.
