It felt like I had a cold sore starting, but nothing was there, and the area started to expand and also feels somewhat numb as well over the past week. I started having spread to my jaw about a month ago, when I had issues getting my meds filled. A few times it started moving across across my teeth, and after increasing my meds, my teeth calmed down, but the jaw remains an issue. I can only eat soft food and it hurts too talk very long. Joy...

The tongue is a different sensation, though. Anyone who's dealt with spread here, I'd appreciate a description and any ideas on how to manage.

I'm used to using Lidocaine patches to deal with flares in new areas. Not possible in this area. My doc is trying to get a sympathetic block approved.
