I am writing today in need of some advice, hoping some of you out there may have some suggestions. My mother was diagnosed with PBP in Feb 2010. She can no longer talk or eat. She is getting weaker daily. She can no longer hold her head up when she walks, and is using her walker. I hate this disease and what it has done to her. It seems like almost daily there is some new sympton that pops up that she has to deal with, it is awful. At times before she could not keep her mouth closed and now she is having trouble with her mouth clamping down just when she is sitting down, yesterday when it happened her teeth clamped down on her tongue and caused it to bleed. When this happens it takes awhile for her mouth to be able to open. Has anyone out there had this happen and if so have you found anything that helps either to prevent it or to help get your mouth opened?
Thanks
