since this latest flare, if I get any food stuck between my teeth and my cheeks/ lips I have to use my finger to get it out. I can't stretch my tongue enough to sweep around my mouth and chase up those lost crumbs.
It's also getting a bit difficult preventing getting food lodged in the top of my mouth, although I usually manage not to let that happen. Just not very attractive to be digging around with my fingers in my mouth.
I have been gradually loosing movement in my tongue since Nov '05 so this isn't terribly surprising, but until this flare I could at least reach along one side of my mouth with my tongue.
If I try and poke my tongue out, it only peeks out about 1/2 inch out of the corner of my mouth. It looks really crazy ! I look like a walking stroke detection poster if I poke my tongue out.
Oh well, guess that moaning doesn't really help, just feeling a bit sick of it all tonight.
I do have a rather gorgeous cat sitting on top of my computer though, and even her worst glare can't stop me smiling at her (she is a real madam). I will see if I can find a nice picture of her
