I sometime bite my lower lip when I'm eating,but my tongue not yet.

by the way, my trip to treatment with stem-cells will be in 05/19/2013,in Thailand

I have a tongue biting coordination issue. Mostly happens when I am distracted and eating. I have to pay attention otherwise my teeth land in wrong place just like my feet. :-(

24

I bite my tongue when I sneeze. I do bite the inside of my mouth when I’m eating - especially if what I’m eating is tasty.

Like my feet, sometimes it seems as though I 'fall over my tongue' when I'm speaking, causing slurring.

I had to hose cats in my garden the other day, the neighbours children started shrieking and the dad

appeared. To my horror I had difficulty coherently explaining the situation to him, they think I drink

anyway!

Yes! Was wondering if other people had the same problem. I chew gum at work and will do it when Im not concentrating.

27

I occasionally bite my tongue and also the inside of my mouth and cheek. I guess it's again another timing issue with ataxia...

I think one of the biggest problems with my ataxia is the muscle tension - I find this massage really helpful: http://voicemassage.fi/index_en.html. I'm sure you have equivalent treatments in other countries.

By the way, have any of you tried using botox with bruxism? Any help?

Just wanted to say thanks. I had never, ever heard of vocal massage before.

Hi Anna,

The voice massage seems really useful. It's something to bear in mind. Botox was never

suggested for my teeth grinding, I think I'll persevere with the splint if necessary, I'm still

weighing up whether to have Botox in my eye!

best regards
