Middle-age embouchure changes?

I am a 54 year old clarinetist who has played more or less daily since 3rd grade. This year I am suddenly having issues with a shaky embouchure that seems to originate from a nerve in my lower lip that is "overactive." Memories have come flooding back of teachers I had that played w. a shaky sound, prompting me to think to my young and childishly over-confident self, "Why don't they practice more?" But now I find myself in the same position. I still practice daily, but, actually, I seem to notice this problem less when I have laid off for a day or two. Anyone else experienced this problem?
