My mom is five foot, 100 pounds and is going to turn 50 in October. Lately, she has been experiencing this numbness on her upper lip and gums as well as a very high blood pressure. I would like to consider my mom a workaholic because she is constantly under a great deal of stress. She runs a restaurant business and takes care of my 87 year old grandfather. She has had a hysterectomy at 40. Her doctors had her still taking a contraceptive, which we believe caused this constant diarrhea because once she stopped taking them, nearly several years later, this what seemed to be like a severe case of IBS slowed down. She is also very dizzy, nauseous, and bright lightening is bothering her eyes.
