Hi, I have literally just stumbled on this thread, as I am trying to find out what the hell is going on with my body and thankfully have found you guys.

I have been having this issue since November 2015, when I started with Bell's Palsy. Since then it has gotten worse, to the point it's all day everyday. Now when I move my eyes I feel completely nauseous, constantly dizzy and headaches.

I have also had other sensations just before this started happening.
Does anyone ever feel that you can taste things you shouldn't? -I.E; I had an MRI dye scan and could taste the dye once it was injected into my blood stream. Also, when I drink anything cold I can feel it as though it is going in to my left arm instead of my stomach (if that makes any sense to anyone).

I have spoken with several Doctors/specialist consultants and they look at me like I'm a freak and change the subject.

Hello NJR85 and welcome to NeuroTalk.

This can be a side effect of having contrast injected. I have never experienced it but I did have a MRI with contrast yesterday and the tech did mention the possibility of being able to taste the contrast. Once again I did not experience this.

This could be an issue with your eyes, have you been to an Ophthalmologist or neuro ophthalmologist?

Have you had a current MRI of your brain and did it show anything?

Do you have Multiple Sclerosis?

Some contrasts I taste, some I don't... Always thankful when I don't as when I do it's like a welling of rusty tin in the back of the throat I mean it is wholly unplesant especially when you're then stuck for another 15-20 mins in the tube... It's really back if they're doing the neck too because you can't swallow to try and rid yourself of the aftertaste.

But that is one of the possibilities with the contrast dyes, along with flushing and a feeling of warmth, which I only felt once so far. Now a weird one for me that I can't quite understand is when it makes my jaw tighten... Not like it's swollen or anything, but almost like I'm starting to get lock jaw. It's the very back muscles that just clamp down.

But I will say you learn something new everyday... I thought most people could hear their own heartbeats... Is that really not the norm? I know my ears are a bit sensitive to sound, places that use the "mosquito" sound deterrent against teens will leave me sick, dizzy and even almost made me pass out once even though I was 34 and your ears should stop perceiving the frequency by 25 at the latest. Just thought I had good ears and dog whistles were broken because I could hear them whistle. And though I don't hear my eyes move, I do hear myself blinking. Now I'm going to have to go looking up what's abnormal for hearing
