Denise, our dry mouth from secondary Sjogren's can cause tongue sensitivity, and some foods cause my tongue to burn terribly. It varies from day to day, I find. I avoid acidic and spicy foods, as they aggravate it.

If you're seeing anything unusual, I'd have your doctor examine it to ensure you don't have thrush or any other issue.

I do too. Very often I get sores in my tongue for no reason.

@A MyLupusTeam Member, @DeniseBryant2--B vitamin deficiency, protein deficiency, and chronic disease also contribute to splitting at the sides of the mouth (angular cheilitis), as well as iron deficiency. A B complex supplement is safe to take, but before starting iron, it's important to have your blood levels checked. Overload with iron can damage our organs.

Yes! I experience tongue pain where it feels like my tongue is 5 times larger and it was in a fight! I also experience cheek sores, enlarged bumbs on the tongue, and the corners of my mouth become extremely dry and split open. All very painful and symptoms of Lupus. I am sorry this is happening to you. I know how painful and irritating this can be! Feel better
