I need help!!! - Neuropathy Message Board

Please!! I hope someone can help me!! My mom has been having terrible health problems for 8 months now and nobody can find what is happening. It started in her left shoulder just getting stiff and hurting. Over the past 8 months; now her left arm loses strength till she is unable to use it. Her arm tingles on/off. Now, her neck; up toward her head and down between her shoulders have began to hurt. She takes cluster headaches. She has been to every specialist known and had tons of tests done but no dr. can find out what is happening.
She has been in such terrible pain that now all of her blood levels are high. Cholesterol is high, potasium is high,sugar is high, everything is HIGH. (usually it all runs low; has her entire life)
She has had Cat scans, mri's, Die put into her spine and tons more. She has seen neurologist, arthritis drs, spine drs, muscles drs, regular drs, chiropractors...etc. So far nobody can find anything wrong. What is going on??
She is way too young to stay in such terrible pain all the time. She has four adorable grandchildren who need her healthy and so do I; she is my best friend and I can't stand to see her hurting so bad and never being able to find any help. I'd take her wherever to get help if I just knew where to go.

I hope someone can please help us!!! I need my momma back.
Thanks!!

Not a diagnosis but I know when you are searching any little clue can help, so...I have had similar if lesser pains caused by a bout of tmj following dental work. Any stress can cause jaw clenching which can cause problems like those. Its just an idea since you've obviously looked at the possibilities. Hope she finds some answers soon.

Did she have a shot in that are within 2-6 weeks of the symptoms beginning? If so she could be having a reaction to the thermasil or mercury in the vaccine.
