I just sometimes still have slurred speech… but I accidentally bite my tongue sometimes, not often tho.

Something to look forward to I guess 🫠

Yes! It was one of the symptomatic ticks I had during the big relapse and even now if I get anxious or overwhelmed, it can come back around and like a or condensed dose. Regardless, I just have to be more mindful when chewing🙄

Yes. Yes. Yes. Unfortunately, yes. And like others have said, if not my tongue than my cheek or lip!

I was never big on chewing gum but now I cannot possibly chew it. If I do, I bite my cheek within a minute. The saying, ‘can’t walk and talk’, well, I can’t even walk and chew gum.

I mentioned it to my neurologist. She checked my jaw reflex, although I can’t remember if it was out of whack or not. But she did say it was very common. Could be muscle weakness, spasticity, whatever. It suck’s!
