Mouth symptoms

[jvilletina2]

Several times a week I will suddenly notice that the far back part of my tongue on the left side is all bitten and swollen. It's so "chewed up" that it's hard for me to talk for hours afterwards. I must be biting it but I've never felt it.

I also have recurring line on the inside of my cheeks where my teeth must chew into my cheeks during the night.

Occasionally it feels like the inside of my throat just seizes up as I try to drink a glass of water quickly. Quite painful.

Any one else out there like me?

It is comforting to be able to ask these absurd questions and know that I will be taken seriously - thanks everyone!

Very true. Perhaps thats why when I had both my C sections I didnt really take pain killers..and everyone was in shock ..they even forced me to take meds! I saw the pics of your daughter. She is beautiful. I'll make sure to post some pics!

Well, I really think chiari helps us be stronger for what we have to deal with and chiarians r some of the strongest people around.....

Yeah, that is how it started for me than nothing at all would come out when I went to sing.....I had no idea I had chiari when this all was going on...lol....

awwww well I look forward to the pics...I have some of myt DD in my profile

I just feel my throat tightening on the sides when i sing and cry. I used to sing really nice....I guess something happened cause my voice went byebye lol It is a weird feeling indeed. Aw thanks =-) I've got to be a tough cookie . Like any other human I have mymoments of weekness but I've got to hang in there for my chunky monkeys lol. My son is the chunkiest one lol My daughter just got my thighs lol I have to post some pictures I've got a ton in my camera but I'm lazy to upload.

Yeah I get that too...did u ever get a weird sensation when u go to sing or cry?

It is very odd...b4 surgery when I tried to sing, nothing came out.... and it felt really weird too....I can not imagine having little ones and  being left alone and having chiari.....u r one tough cookie : )

lol tell me about it! it's Hashi's....NOT NORMAL hello!  Yea I can keep it to a minimum..I'm gona have to tell my friend I cant help her move again. I am used to it but doesn't matter how used to it i am I still cry everytime he leaves and I find it hard at times to go day by day but Christ is my strength =-) I completely forgot about their posts too! I guess we hold it cause it's hard to swallow? I was wondering with the throat issues and what not...does anyone have throat pain? I feel like a pulling pain, its a dull pulling pain from my jaw to the end of my throat. Its weird.

I am not sure how u can have Hashi's with normal function??....that is very odd.

Well, I am sure u can keep ur lifting to a minimum,,,,lol,,,the kiddies...or in ur case the chunkey monkies  : )too cute....lol....

I am sorry u r alone like that, I guess u r used to that as well.....

Thanks Shannon, I did miss the posts u and Carolyn mentioning the holding the water/liquid.

I find this a very strange issue and no one else has mentioned it b4...I did it much more b4 surgery and didn't realize until I lifted my glass to take another sip that I had something in my mouth,.....
