I have had 3 seperate 'explosions' in my mouth in the past 5 months. It feels as if tiny fireworks have exploded in one small place in my mouth. Feels electric, hot and painful in just that small area.
The first was in my cheek area(inside my mouth) and woke me from sleep. The 2nd one lower down but still in cheek area. The 3rd one was my bottom lip, just inside. I could feel my lip swelling, so I applied ice. Later that day I had a small bump (pea size) and it is purple/red, like a bruise.
I am being treated for Lyme from Dr C and it's been 1 year now. These explosions happen during sleep. I was on different antibiotics, but continuously on Cymbalta and Percocet. Don't know if it's medication related or what...any ideas??
The 4th of July is coming up soon and I don't want to be the one giving the fireworks display!
Thanks Michele

Hi Foggedup,
I have no idea what that could be but sounds nerve related - could it be cranial nerve related?
Anyway, I was wonder how you are doing. Have you improved since starting treatment?

I did not see much improvement with the orals so we are going to try IV antibiotics. Dr C is hoping this will help me, but he was disappointed that the orals didn't help much.
Of course I had been misdiagnosed for 20 years so we both knew it would not be a short recovery. I am detoxing right now, and then start the IV next week.
Thank you for asking...how are you doing?
Look forward to your reply. M
