Has anyone had botox for jaw and tongue tremors?

Hi, @meg17 - I can see how any respite from tremors in your jaw and tongue tremors would be a bonus.

Here is some general info from Mayo Clinic about Botox injections:

Fellow members such as @hopeful33250 @purpleturtle @sally2026 @barbiedoll24 may personally or through a loved one have some familiarity with tongue and jaw tremors and/or the use of Botox for tremors in general.

How do the jaw and tongue tremors affect you day to day, meg17?

Tongue and jaw tremors can only be described as a mental torment..after more than 4 years of teeth chattering..tongue clicking and sounding like a demented dolphin..well that's the best analogy I can think of..it is wearying..just grateful my dentist is used to my symptoms..

Hello @meg17,

While I've not had tongue or jaw tremors, I have heard that many Parkinson's symptoms have been treated with Botox. Here are some discussions that discuss Botox treatment for PD symptoms:
--Dystonia treatment

--Cervical dystonia

Have any other medications or treatments been tried?

Thank you for replying..the usual co-beneldopa but it makes no difference even with increased dose and also 'neupro' patches..again no difference..

@meg17
I am sorry to hear that the medication is not helping. That must be frustrating. Are you considering the Botox treatments?
