Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your wife's situation and problem.
Vitamin b12 and vitamin b 6 (pyridoxine) deficiency can cause similar symptoms.
And isoniazid (one of the anti tubercular drug) can cause vitamin b12 and pyridoxine deficiency.
So better to get done serum vitamin b12 and pyridoxine levels.
And if deficiency then she needs supplements.
Another rare cause is brain injury.
So if vitamin b12 and pyridoxine levels are normal than get done MRI brain.
Consult doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
