Hi lets laugh. I regularly get a numb tongue, & it can effect my face too. It can be small areas that come & go, or pretty much all one side of my face. I also get intermittent numbness of my limbs.

There have been posts about this on here previously, so it might be worth doing a search to read other peoples experiences. But I don't remember anyone coming up with an explanation. Although its obviously common with lupus/auto-immune diseases.

My numbness started at the same time as attacks of vertigo, & I had several scans which ruled out CNS lupus. So it's still a mystery for me too. It's definitely worth mentioning at your rheumy appointment. Have you got a date yet?

Hi! I get a numb tongue as well! And burning mouth, swollen lips!! GP has no answer, except that it could be anxiety related....I'm not convinced about that!!

Numbness in the face could be a neck problem.......have you seen an osteopath or chiropractor? x

I have osteoarthritis .I don't think my lips swell but they feel swollen I get what I call punched mouth syndrome is that's exactly how it feels.I have tiny red blisters on inside of bottom lip and bigger ones under tongue?
