The side effects caused by Fixodent are very similar to the symptoms of demyelinating diseases. Demyelinating diseases occur when the myelin sheath – a protective coating of the nerve cells – is destroyed. Research has shown that victims of severe zinc poisoning and copper deficiency also show evidence of demyelination. You may be eligible to file a Fixodent lawsuit if you experience such side effects as pain or weakness in the extremities, difficulties with coordination, and movement problems, are also characteristic of demyelinating disorders.
Some of the demyelinating diseases most often misdiagnosed in patients suffering from Fixodent side effects include:
Demyelinating Syndrome: Typical symptoms of this disorder include odd sensation in legs, arms, chest, or face, such as tingling or numbness, or weakness; blurriness or double vision; loss of dexterity; and coordination problems. This syndrome can be associated with other diseases, such as lupus.
Multiple Sclerosis: Multiple sclerosis can be difficult to diagnose early in the course of the disease, because symptoms often come and go — sometimes disappearing for months. Because of this difficulty, doctors may at first think that a patient has Multiple Sclerosis, when in fact they are suffering from denture neuropathy.
Guillain-BarrĂ©Â Syndrome: A disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. The first symptoms of this disorder include varying degrees of weakness or tingling sensations in the legs. In many instances the weakness and abnormal sensations spread to the arms and upper body. These symptoms can increase in intensity until certain muscles cannot be used at all. When severe, a patient may suffer life-threatening paralysis.
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP): A rare neurological disorder in which there is swelling of nerve roots and destruction of the myelin sheath over the nerves. This disorder causes weakness, paralysis and/or impairment in motor function, especially of the arms and legs. Sensory loss may also be present causing numbness, tingling, or prickling sensations. The motor and sensory impairments usually affect both sides of the body, and the degree of severity may vary.
If you use Fixodent and suffer from neurological problems, you should ask your doctor to test your blood for zinc and copper levels to rule out Fixodent side effects.
