Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Just wondering if anyone else has tingling/numb lips with their RA? I have ever since syptoms started- but no one seems to know why- my thumbs do sometimes too especially if i bend them wrong- the rhuematologist says its more osteoarthritis causing it with the thumbs- so having me do exercises- i also have positional vertigo ( the crystals in the ear imbalance thing) but the ear nose & throat dr says the tingling shouldnt be from that- im 47 and on prednisone- small dose, folic acid, and sulfazine - only been diagnosed about a year- but had the bilateral joint pain & swelling for 2-3 yrs prior- thnx! beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 The tingling/numbness in my lips is a sign of low blood calcium. If you don't have that type problem something else may be causing that.
