I wonder if the doc could discern anything if the problem is not present when one goes to an appt.? I was not particularly cold when this happened--i.e., the weather was cool but not cold. My dentist does say jaw clenching caused some of my tooth loss. The lower jaw or lip seems unaffected when this happens. I do not recall it happening before this year. I did have the typical MS difficulty in speaking many years ago when first dx'd, but that seemed to be somewhat different. Neurologists never noticed it back then, they just went on MRI's and Evoked Response scores. I have a pcp appt. in a couple of weeks, maybe that is soon enough.

That period right after dx, years ago, was an exacerbation more serious than any I've had since. I give some credit to the Swank diet, and to quitting my job and being under less stress. At that time I could hardly type the forms to apply to SSi or to appeal to SSI.
