Numb Lower Lip and Chin

[Merryfield]

This morning (So Cali time), the left side of my lower lip and chin were numb. This evening, my whole lower lip and chin are numb. Has anyone experienced this with PMR, GCA or steroids? Feeling a bit panicky.

There is something called numb chin syndrome, but I would seek medical advice as it probably is not that.

Hello, it isn’t something that is immediately recognisable as one of the things you get with our condition or Pred. I did see Sjogren’s in one list of causes. However, there are a number of things that it could be so a medical opinion is needed. Of course it’s the worry that it is a concerning one rather than just annoying for a bit that goes around one’s head.

Good day, all numbness has disappeared. Quite mysterious. Hope it doesn’t return. Thank you for your responses.
