Re: Several Questions - metallic taste.

[Guest guest]

I get a metal taste that I cannot " wash away " when I take my sleeping pill.

It is call imovane.

Like the sleep but hate the taste for the whole next day. I must admit it

keeps me from taking the pill sometimes.

dentists etc...no one could find a cause for it. It may have been a first

hint of what was to come. She also thought she was receiving " radio

waves " in her mouth. She stopped eating and lost alot of weight. Her

behaviours and thoughts have changed alot since then so eating is no longer

a problem. It may be phase that your mom is going through.

It's funny but when I look back, this was probably the first symptom my mom had.

this off and on for a couple of years. She lost a lot of weight when this

happening. Food didn't taste good, so she stopped eating much. I believe this

may be

when LBD started affecting her. She had all kinds of tests trying to find out

why she

had the bad taste (CT scan of abdomen; scope down the throat). The doctors

couldn't

find anything wrong with her. One doctor suggested a stroke could have caused

the

taste, but later a CT scan didn't show any strokes. I just wonder if the LBD has

caused

the taste.

Has anyone heard of a spontaneous remission from LBD? You hear of cancer going

away, I just wondered if there has been a documented case of LBD going away. Of

course it could have happened in the early stages when the person didn't know

that

they had LBD.

We are going to try to get my Mother's teeth cleaned. She can be really agitated

and

doesn't sit still very well. Do you have any suggestions on how to make this

easier?

How about the gas that dentist use? Would this cause an adverse reaction?

Thanks in advance,
