Background and Aims
A 52 year old female flew in from Norway on October 18, 2017, to our associated facility in UAE, complaining of burning in the mouth, face, and constant shaking for more than one year and gradually getting worse. Her condition is constant and gets worse when she smells perfumes, eats, takes any medication, or in contact with dust. She saw many doctors, specialists, therapists, and other professional, was misdiagnosed as psychotic and was put in a psychosis ward which was "a nightmare" to her, but condition has not changed and remains gradually worse. She is allergic to sugar, starch, fat, milk-which she has not had for 15 years- bread as well as other types of foods and vegetables which are very limited. Her condition is constant and gets worse when she smells perfumes, eats, takes any medication, or in contact with dust. Patient reports that she has been verbally and emotionally abused by her mother since she was 5 years old, and thinks that her mother was a psychopath. Her past medical history includes concussions from being hit by a car when she was 13 years old, not hospitalized. She has done epidurals, has used Marijuana for 15 years, has had several relationships, was married and divorced, has a 25-year-old daughter. She has had dental implants, uses progesterone cream for hormonal issues without a doctor's advice and feels that her condition drives her to commit suicide.
Methods
Upon examination, on 11-18-2011, blepharoclonus was observed. Opthalmoscopic examination showed V:A ratio 3:1 bilateral. OPK showed abnormal upward to downward saccades ratio. Horizontal saccades preserved. Irregular pursuits, and square wave jerks were observed. Right soft palate paresis was observed. Cardiac auscultation revealed irregular and pounding heart beats.with hyperventilation. Romberg’s stance with severe sway. Paresis of right big toe. Bilateral dysmetria.. Bilateral decreased DTR’s. Bilateral muscle spasticity in the lower extremity and hypotonia in the upper extremity. Treatment consisted of Brain-Based therapeutic activities, segmental coupled motion reduction, myofascial release, vestibular stimulation, timed breathing excercises, complex movement activities, visual stimulation, sound stimulation, activities of daily living, and nutritional consultation.
Results
Patient showed progressive improvement in her motor and gut function and decrease in muscle spasticity. She showed improvement in gait and reported that she was able to take couple of steps without assistance. She reported ability to move her right big toe against resistance after she had this function compromised for more than 25 years. In 5 treatment days the patient reports no BMS symptoms and is able to eat a wide variety of foods she has not been able to eat in 25 years. Patient left back to Norway early December 2017 symptom free.
