Topic: Metallic Taste or No Taste?

Has anyone ever had either a metallic taste or no taste in their mouth? I also have no hunger. Just recently went to the Emergency Room for head pain that Morphine would not totally take away. They did two CAT scans, bloodwork and a spinal tap and said that they had no idea what was wrong and sent me home with Oxycotin. When I asked about Lyme they said both blood and spinal fluid came out negative. When I questioned them they said it was just a migraine.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause this.

Some medications can also cause this.

Means nothing. Lyme is rarely found in spinal fluid.

And unless they used a specialty lab, Lyme is not likely to be found.

Get a Dr to run a Western Blot.

www.igenex.com . Test #188 and 189

approx cost: $200

If you would like to have a lyme test that is more accurate, you should consider having the new Borrelia culture test from Advanced Laboratories in PA.

The fibromyalgia I've had for 32 years was an undiagnosed Lyme symptom.
