RA and perotid glands/jaw

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone! I was diagnosed just this summer with RA, and I'm

still just getting aquainted with my disease. Anyone else have

problems with their jaws and perotid (sp?) glands? My glands just

in front of my ears swell up and hurt like all get out periodically,

and my jaws feel stiff. It even hurts to sleep on either side when

this happens. I'm also having very dry skin, but don't know if this

is part of RA or not. My hands and feet are the more " regular "

problem areas.
