Re: Opening Mouth


Allan,
I know I read somewhere recently about the tightly shut eyes but darned if I
can find it, but I'm still looking. Two subjects come to mind, blepharospasm
(see  )or look up tardive
dyskinesia. Aparently both conditions may appear after prolonged or heavy
treatment with dopamine agonists.
Will get back to you
Alf

Subject: Opening Mouth


In the last week or so Barbara has had difficulty opening her mouth at meal
times. She wants to eat but it seems that her mouth is frozen shut. This has
happened with her eyes being shut tightly, but botox has helped that. Has
anyone else experienced this new phenomenon and if so, what suggestions do
you have?
