tongue and lip acting up....

(1/2) > >>

tatianne:
Hi everyone,
the past day or two ive noticed that my tongue feels a little numb at the tip and one spot on my lip feels almost numb....is this normal ???
I have a 8mm AN and im under wait and watch for now.
Could an AN this small cause these symptoms ??
Im afraid and feeling a bit panicked.
Thanks all

As the nerve gets pushed around, I'm feeling different symptoms each day.  For me at about 23mm at this point, I have all kinds of symptoms and each day I don't know what I will get.  Today, I have a numb tongue, cheek not a numb as usual, gums numb today, ear fullness actually feeling better, ear doesn't hurt as usual, hearing about gone thought, tennitis is always bad for me but, the worst today is the neck.  (killer neck pain here, today)

For you it sounds normal and possible with that size but, I'd be sure to say...........post that on the CK forum for a doctor and you will get a professional answer there.  Check that site out; it is awesome.

I wish you luck and I hope you had a nice day yesterday.  Where do you live?  My TX will be at Stanford all of next week.

Hi Tatianne,

Even after GK, it's the same but it's different. Every day, it seems, different areas act up on the whim of the AN and whatever the h--- it's doing in there.  I think its doing the Macarena, in it's death throes.  At least I hope it's going through death throes. It has affected my tongue, lips, gums, taste, nose (it gets cold!) also.  Are we having fun yet????

Hi, I just had my pre op with shahinian, he informed me that the metal taste on my lips tounge, etc, tinlging nose, numb mouth is due to the AN pressing on the Trangeminal nerve, not the facial.
Trangeminal nerve is all sensation, feeling etc.

Facial is all motor.

So it is pressing on the Trangeminal.

I have the same symptoms. Mine is coming out this Monday.

thanks guys, I appreciate your taking time to respond.

My tongue and lips are actually doing better, it seems to come in little episodes...come and go type of thing but from what ive been reading that seems to be the pattern with almost everyone who has these symptoms.
Yesterday the good ear felt blocked off and on for most of the day, I was freaking out a little...but i was dusting a lot and I was congested from allergies, when my congestion cleared the ear felt better.
I pay so much attention to my ears and head symptoms that so times i think i make them worse or they are more present because Im worried.
In one way I hope this little disturber never grows, in another way I just want to have my GK and get the treatment over with so I can move forward and put this behind me.....can you actually ever put this behind you ?
Next MRI is in January....I guess i will wait until then.
