Do you know why your lips and tongue are stinging?

[Ronzy in reply to Koalajane]

Maybe because of GCA 30 pred

One person I know had this problem,

On and off he lost nearly all of his taste and then sometimes tingling. He was a Pharmacist and he thought it might be his taste buds. When it occurred he made of note of what he had eaten. Being a Pharmacist he noted the food that he had eaten when it occurred and eliminated them for a while. He found that as he reduced his pred the problem went away.

Now I am not saying this has happened to you - but just a thought I would pass it on.

Two items I remember were problematic were tomatoes and ginger.

That man was a pharmacist.

Do you need to take pred with more water?

[Ronzy]

I usually drink a full glass with it thanks Could try more

Is it all the time?Two things occur to me. It could be an allergy, as Jinasc said, or you could be right about the GCA. My face was stinging from the eyebrows down to my lips for some time with GCA and still does a bit. Dr Mukhtyar, who did the Zoom talk a few weeks ago, confirmed that a stinging face can be a symptom of GCA.

I heard him say that - I wonder if he has ever put it in writing, because that would be VERY useful for the sceptics who say "oh no, not typical ..."

Do u have mouth sores too ?

[Ronzy in reply to choirsinger1986]

Toung and lips manly. Much better today. I have a sneaky feeling it the Magnesium I take for cramps taken less today. I’ll monitor it

[choirsinger1986 in reply to Ronzy]

Hope it works for you

There is a disorder called burning mouth syndrome. The people I've spoken to about this report that they get some relief while eating but it returns as soon as they stop eating. This is an important distinction that is not seen with some other mouth ailments.

Feeling much better today no idea why tho 🤷‍♂️Maybe magnesium.
