That is so interesting. I also burn my mouth frequently, but don't realize
it when it is happening. Were your arms affected to? Sometimes mine drive me
nuts. My hands always have little spasms going on and they can really hurt
at times. My face isn't painful, just extremely irritating when the itching
starts. Then there is the tickle that runs along side my nose that seems to
stay. And when my nose starts itching it is rather embarrasing. I just have
to keep rubbing it. Ahhh...tm can be quite humorous. Walk like a drunk and
scratch like and addict...what a sight!

Debbie,
I also have facial involvement and so do many others. The face nerves that
are involved for me are at C2. It is my right side and after 8 years, when
I
breath in through my mouth it still feels warm and without any temp
feeling.
I also at times burn the inside of my mouth because I can't tell the
temperature. My very first symptom was a burning on the inside of my right
nasal passage, almost like I had gone swimming and had water in my nose,
yet
much more intense. At the first symposium in 1999, a gentleman spoke about
how his sneezes start and then stop when it hits the numb area. I was very
happy to hear that others had the same symptoms.

Frank and all
It's been 3 years now from onset (5/32/03) and I have not had any new
events so the tm diagnosis still stands. My face involvement began in
the
hospital within the first week of onset. The right side of my face, nose,
lips and mouth were numb and tingling. When I sucked in with my lips my
mouth felt like I had just brushed with a super minty toothpaste even if I
hadn't brushed. It stayed like that for months. Now my face is my
indicator
that I have over extended myself and need to rest.
I know it is weird, but my neuro says it is another unexplained symptom of
tm. He is a good friend of one of the doctors at the tm center at JH and
an
excellent neuro, so I trust him. He follows the same protocol as the
center
and tries the same drug therapies.
But, then again, I have always been a WEIRD one. So...
Debbie staying weird in
SC

I have had facial involvement from tm. It intensifies when I am
tired/fatigued/too hot. It really affects my nose, lips, chin and
cheeks.
I have the eye muscles twitches, too.
I have never read that TM can affect the facial nerves.
the facial nerves do not come off the spinal cord.
It sounds like MS to me. You may just have to wait for an abnormal MRI.
Good Luck
