Sorry for my long absence on the site. Just was reading about the pain when eating, and it reminded me of when I had infected salivary glands. It was so weird. I had never heard of such a thing, and I felt fine until I put food or drink in my mouth. If I touched on the outside of my jaw in certain places, it would hurt a little, but not that much to be concerned. I thought it was God's way of telling me I was eating too much! Finally went to the dr. about it and discovered I had an infection in my salivary glands. This was a few years before I was diagnosed with Ssc.

My teeth use to be loose but aren't any more. They have tightened up at long last! Grammie

thanks for sharing your thoughts about this...lately it doesn't seem to be quite as bad...if I touch behind my jaw bone on both side or my face just beneath my ear lobes it's a bit sensitive...but seems to be less and less...

I just went through a bout of jaw pain exactly as Nancy describes. It was somewhat painful the end of last week but is diminishing the past couple of days. Back when the SD was cranking I had a lot of TMJ pain and my teeth moved quite a bit. As the meds kicked in the jaw pain went away and my teeth returned to their proper place. I am curious what caused this last jaw issue but as it has come and gone I guess it is just one of those things and not SD related. Hope not anyway. Perhaps it was a gland thing like Nancy's.

I never had TMJ...or at least painful that is...never heard of infected salivary glands..but I would think that wouldn't be impossible as we always stick things in our mouths for some reason or another...
hope your on the meds with that.......sounds crazy don't it!!...
