      OK gang,

      My bottom lip on the inside is swollen????:mad:

      I keep biting it.

      Has anyone else experienced this?

      On to the third week now

      See doctor next week.

      Just wondering if it has anything to do with CIDP

      Thanks

      Hi Rhonda,

      I have gone through episodes of biting the inside of my lip

      or cheek for at least 20 yrs. I,ve only had cidp dx since the

      fall of ’06. I have extremely dry eyes & mouth. The dry

      mouth causes extra friction & makes it easier to bite your

      self. I find Biotine toothpaste & mouthwash help alot, then

      for the bites I use Orabase. I hope this is of some help!

      Hi Rhonda,

      Glad you saw my post. The Orabase is a sticky paste. My

      trick is to apply it at bedtime. Dry the inside of your lip,

      then dab the spot several times with a small amt. If you

      try to rub it on, it just makes a mess.

      I noticed your beautiful dog. I have a Catahoula & a

      Dallas Lop (left over parts)!

      Take care,
