Hi, I have a pretty severe neuropathy - in all my extremities including face, tongue and lips, weakness and ataxia.  Lately along with the tingling and numbness in my lips and tongue, I have been also getting a metallic-like taste in my mouth. Could this have anything to do with the neuropathy?  If not, any idea of what else can be causing it? I am also having bad headaches, and feeling like I'm too weak to stand.  Is there any connection to neuropathy? Thank you!




After drinking water or eating food I too had a metallic
taste in my mouth.  I had foot drop, a tight band around
my torso and other indications of MS which was diagnosed
20 years later after being presented with trigeminal neuralgia.
My neurologist said all manifestations were typical MS symptoms.
