Debbie Hi
Oh wow so you have the constricting too, well your the first person Ive met with my same symptoms, is it in both feet? and did it start on your soles and progressivley advance to the tops of your feet as well?
Great that you have no back pain, actually mine was never been that bad, the thing is that I noticed that everytime I would work on my Mac straight for 3 or more hours the numbing in my feet would get much worse and I felt a little pain when getting up, nothing bad, but it was there, and thats when I decided to go to the neurosurgeon, and were I got my new diagnosis of a herniated disk and were the Dr.explained that the disk herniation was reponsible for the numbing on both my feet.
Im not trying to be anti establishment but the Avonex was horrible for me and I never felt well during my short time with it, and Ive heard the same thing about all the other crab drugs, btw after I quit the Avonex I didnt get another exacerbation for 8 years, I was riding 10 miles a day in south beach swiming in the beach, pools etc with no problems, it was when I moved up north from south florida, that my sister convinced me to go with her to some sun tanning saloon b4 a wedding of one of our friends, that was when it all came back, up to today i still believe that that triggered my attack, and quite a few people have exacerbated after using these machines, please read what i pasted below, btw b4 I went there I had never read anything like this but I felt so weird and queasy, that I knew something was not right.
PLEASE READ=> Tanning at the salon is dangerous. 2,8 Artificial UVR exposure has been repeatedly identified as a factor that contributes to acute health effects such as erythema, sunburn, skin dryness, pruritus, nausea, photodrug reactions, (((((disease exacerbation)))) (eg, systemic lupus erythematosis), and disease induction (eg, polymorphous light eruption). Long-term health effects include skin aging, effects on the eye.
SO STAY AWAY FROM TANNING SALOONS! ;)
Anyway Im NOT doing their tysabri nor any of the other crab drugs. I want regenarating drugs! the ones that heal by building healthy cells and NOT the ones that kill and suppress our immune systems. Oh and Im not taking their suggestion of buying a wheel chair only for "my bad days" as they put it, the minute I do this Im giving up, not to mention the effect on my muscles, plus Ive perfectioned my my fake limp instead of my normal dorking numbed feet walking, no one ever knows I have MS and exactly like you Im happy everyday and smile alot, why? I have no idea, but its an amazing blessing and I know it will stay with me forever and ever ;)
Early this morning I called and setup my appointment with the Biological Dentist, the earliest they could take me was on July 29, but they sounded wonderful and I really liked their website as well and they follow the right protocal for removing the mercury, dental dams, oxygen, vacuuming of vapors, cold lazer, ionizer etc etc.
BTW since the first time you mentioned this whole thing about the
Amalgams last friday, I have read huge amounts of information on the subject, and its amazing that they havent outlawed this stuff like they have in Germany, Holland and a few other places, the statistical information is incredible; and the before and afters are amazing!.....I still cant believe that non of my neuros ever told me anything about this from day one! I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart, btw, I have since spoken to a lady with MS who has made made great advances after removal. I pray it resolves some of my symptoms with time, but no matter what happenes their going out, their a toxic time bomb!
Big hugz
