Yes, by all means bring it up to your neuro.

The right side of my throat and back of the tongue is numb and has been for some time; so the normal gag reflex is impaired on that side. I've also lost the innervation to some muscles of mastication on the right, so there is now a hollow where those chewing muscles should be. Apparently it is due to a lesion in the brain stem on me; that may or may not be MS related.

With love, Erika
