Could eithr of you please tell me where you are and who tour doctors are> She was diagnosed by ENT who then referred me to 2 neurologists who knew nothing! Keep ignoring ENT's diagnosis.
RHS does mi mic a few other conditions/diseases, and many Dr's do not know about RHS enough or even at all. I agree w/ Andy - call a neurologist. Definitely do your homeowrk and research, take notes and demand answers !! I have been to over 30 doctors, and only 4 knew what RHS was...sad, but true. The first thing they tested me for was a stroke...they also thought Bells Palsy....I even had one dr tell me I had Impitego !! I was only 25 when diagnosed and I also could not walk. I used a cane for over 8 months. Then I went to Gait Therapy for a year. I wish your mother the best of luck.
It's true that a lot of doctors don't know about Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, & it's a tragedy. Can't you call around your area to neurologists, pain specialists, etc. & find out who does? Until such a doctor determines that it IS RHS, I'm not sure you can be so certain that this is what it is, but you are certainly right to question your doctors. Mine misdiagnosed my illness until I was near death & in the E.R. -- and I was in my 40s at the time.
