Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 , I don't understand the inability to open the mouth with trigeminal neuritis. My understanding is that TN classically causes dropped mouth because it is a LMN lesion (trigeminal nerve inflammation) to the masticatory muscles. With LMN you should see flaccid muscle and a dropped jaw. I don't understand the pathophysiology? Thanks, Mark B.

All of those have "gluten" in it and can cause inflammation in the blood or any where else. I have seen this spontaneous inflammation from the 5th cranial nerve, the trigeminal nerve, what will lock up there mouths. Also gluten is an know option of helping to develop cancer and masses. Look at the website of Symens, DVM and www.dogtorJ.com and read his articles about food intolerances for dogs. And the article about "lectines and viruses". It will explain the inflammation process and it's way to developing cancer. believes dogs and cats should not be one the "BIG 4": Gluten, dairy, soy and corn. An other book will help tremendously: Dangero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
