Disequilibrium, Pain Around Eyes And Nose, Sour Mouth, Help Posted: 03-26-05 19:31pm
My mother has three symptoms:
1. Disequilibrium (no balance when she
walks; has to hold onto something to
prevent falling sensation)
2. She has severe pain around her eyes
and around nose.
3. Her mouth is very sour. Sometimes
she can't even touch her own lips with her
tongue.
(she also has tremor in her hands when she
feels really bad, but it's not visible.
She is describes it as if her body is
shaking).
She was seen by many doctors and many
tests have been done and nobody has a clue
about what's wrong with her. She has
been really suffering for 3 years with
this and it's getting worst.
Mri show no sinusitis.
2 out of 3 blood tests showed hyperactive
thyroids (little above normal level), but
her physician doesn't think it's a
problem.
Last blood test showed h-pylori and fa
factor (don't know what it means).
Her physician prescribed her prevpac, but
she took a set of the same medicine 2
years ago and symptoms didn't disappear.
Any help or advice would be a saver.
She was seen by ent, neurologist, 3
physicians, was in emergency room and no
help.
Please help....

What Is It Posted: 05-25-05 22:14pm
Sounds just like ,me for years!
First of all, she has sun sensitivity,
also it sounds like she is dehydrated and
has a b-vitamin deficiency that is causing
geographic tongue and or glossitis.
All of these are pointing to covert
symptoms of lupus, but if this is all you
have no doctor will take you seriously.
First, you need to start writting down
every symptom. Go to the lupus forum and
see if these other things sound like they
make things fall into place. If not, I
can help with the burning mouth syndrome,
get vitamin b complex with 100% all b's,
take it twice a day. If you don't need
it it won't hurt you. It will take a
couple weeks. Also, drink powerade or
gaterade it replaces electralites. Next
you need to start wearing sunscreen daily,
at least 30.
Ask for a lupus panel
good luck

Geographic Tongue Posted: 05-31-05 18:25pm
Check into chinese medicine, it sounds
like a "yin deficiency" symptom. Stomach
ulcers can be another symptom, as well as
hot flashes, gnawing hunger, restlessness,
night sweats and geographic tongue.
Herbs and acupuncture can help!
