Disequilibrium, Pain Around Eyes And Nose, Sour Mouth, Help Posted: 03-26-05 19:37pm
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....

Your mom definately doesn't have tmj. I
recommend going to webmd.Com instead of
here to find answers.
I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like she's
had a minor stroke. But that can't be it
since I would think all those doctors that
she's seen would have caught something
like that. The h-pylori and fa factor are
related to thyroids, which may be an
unrelated matter.

Has anyone checked out trigeminal
neuralgia for her. It sure sounds like
this. It's the main nerve that goes
across your face and can affect several
areas. This nerve on my face was severed
during tmj surgery and I have had several
of these symptoms over the years. It's
worth a try to suggest it to her doctors.
