Hi Sleeper,
Your wife is among millions of people who have the exact same symptoms and have been told they have no <real> problem! Many times it is a tooth problem and the cause is the chronic infection in the tooth that has spread to the surrounding bone irritating the nerve, etc.
Conventional dentists/specialists, will treat this with an antbiotic and pain meds once, twice, maybe even three times. Then suggest a retreatment of the root canal, which will do nothing ...... then an apicoectomy which is a painful surgical procedure that again does nothing to cure the infected tooth. However, the apico does add more inflammation and additional irritation to the already inflammed area.
Motrin seems to subside the pain because it is an anti-inflammatory drug that works on reducing nerve inflammation. However, this is not a cure.
If at all possible, seek an opinion from a Biological dentist. Perhaps the IAOMT site could offer you some insight to finding one in your area.
Please let us know how she is doing!

I also wondered, if nothing found why antibiotics? Neither one she saw was able to see a problem. LOL she is a little nervous that they think she is crazy, they mentioned nerves or stress.
As a person that had some difficulty getting a dx for my PPMS I am used to some lame dx`es. We will search until the proper cause is found.
She has to see or PCP Thursday and I imagine he will refer her to a neuro. Although she has some discomfort the Motrin seems to be controlling it.
Thanks for your thoughts on it!
