Does anyone suffer from dribbling . The last few weeks I feel that I’m constantly dribbling from the left side of my mouth. It’s really bugging me as I’m very aware of it. Is this something I should be worried about ? Is it a symptom of fibro or chronic fatigue?

Thanks in advance

This would not be expected unless the person were so fatigued from loss of sleep that h/she were dozing off from exhaustion. Drooling is more often related to bell's palsey or a stroke.

This might seem a stupid question but have you lost any teeth on that side? I have and occasionally if my mouth fills with a lot of saliva some will escape.x

No question is stupid 😊 no I haven’t lost any teeth. I’m a little stressed at the moment. I’ve made a GP appointment now.

Hi Geordie-chick

Sorry to hear you’re going through this, I have similar experience and have been advised lupus which is affecting joints and my teeth, the excess bile on my left side back of mouth is related to Sjögren's syndrome I am told by rheumatologist with dry eyes and lack of bile on the right side of mouth.

I have been off work two months last year and three months since Covid caused recent flare which has been diagnosed as long Covid with fibromyalgia and my work are seeking advice what to do about me.

its out of our control what can you do ?

My body and brain are out of sync need someone to retune me lol

can only take each day as it is comes…

have better days sometime sooner being kind to yourself has benefits I find.

Take care 😀🙏

Only when baking cake😉

Just kidding Geordie-chick, Like we say time and time again, If it's new contact your GP,

So they can put your mind at ease, Lets be kind to ourselves Try not to worry,

If you can't see a GP, You can call 111 NHS or go to a walk in centre, You might have to wait for a while but you will get seen

Take care Debs

Hi, check Myasthenia gravis symptoms online - if you have similar, ask your GP.The dripping was 1 of mine and after long 11 months and lots of tests last 2 months, was diagnosed with Generalised Myasthenia Gravis.
